I grew up seeing mayapples in the woods. Didn't even know they actually produce an "apple."
Word of warning... This is from Wikipedia, so take it as you will:
"All the parts of the plant are poisonous, including the unripe green fruit and perhaps the ripe fruit eaten in excess.[14][15][16]."
And further:
"Mayapple has been used by Indigenous Americans as an emetic, cathartic,[19] and antihelmintic agent.[19]"
None of those actions make me think "food." They make me think "medicine," which has to be approached very differently, taken in different quantities than food, and for different reasons.
