Got any native edibles in your forest garden?

I love growing native edibles in my front food forest. It has been great trying out new ones. One of my favorites are the checkermallows. I got around 30 to 50 of them scattered around my front food forest. They get beautiful flowers and they provide great tasting greens all year. Just today I harvested a bowl of leaves from them to add to some eggs and onions for lunch. And most days I have a salad at dinner with checkermallow leaves mixed in.

I also got miners lettuce, woodland sorrels, 2 native onions, and many more.

All these native edibles have really proven to be great additions to my food forest. And they do great mixed in with my fruit trees, berries and vegetables.

So what about you? Have you added any native edibles to your forest garden?

Here is a pic of my front food forest taken last summer. I just love it and many of the plants in the pic are native edibles.

Some of my fruits are native-- Paw paw, black raspberry, blueberry, concord-type grapes.  

I don't have as much in the way of native (perennial) vegetables yet.  Ramps and Golden Alexanders for herbs, and lamb's quarters which I have heard conflicting info as to whether the common sort here are actually native.

I am excited to plant some apios (groundnut) this year; hoping it might eventually replace my usually disappointing potato crop.

I have volunteer gooseberries and dewberries, and have put in native serviceberry shrubs and blackberry canes.  There's a native prairie rose I planted I suppose I could us for hips, but so far I've only enjoyed its flowers.  

There's wild bean around, though I don't use them.  Just admire them- the pods shatter when dry, shooting seeds every direction.  There's a sandy spot under the eaves I reserve for lambsquarter, did spanikopita with them last June and it was phenomenal.  There's dock, and poke, that I'll pull and put in spring salads.  

I planted slender mountain mint and monarda (horsemint?) for pollinators, but both can be used for herbal tea. There's New Jersey Tea, too- again, for pollinators, but has been used as a tea substitute in the past.  

And then I have a couple stumps that'll throw off native oyster mushrooms (and last year a chicken of the woods),  at odd times.  Luckily they're right out the kitchen window, so if I'm paying  attention, I can catch them in the act.  

Salal, oregon grape, miners lettuce, nettle, spruce, Douglas fir, broadleaf maple, turkey tail mushrooms, puffballs, shaggy mane.

Here's my native edibles:

Growing wild: salmonberry and trailing blackberry, red huckleberries, salal, oregon grape, siberian miners lettuce, stink current, swamp gooseberry

Growing wild, but I also transplant and tend them: blackcap raspberries and thimbleberries, blue elderberry, wild strawberries, mountain ash.

Introduced by me to add diversity: bunchberries, buffalo berry, nodding onion, mountain hucklberry, Cascade Penstemon, cascadia huckleberry, native pollinator mix, oregon sorrel, serviceberry (lots that I planted, and one that sprouted by itself and grew a TON faster than the ones I got as starts)

howdy,
todays forest forage, oyster mushrooms, grow on dead hardwood,
