Foraging rules
Never eat something without knowing what it is. Even if you have a good idea of what it is, check for reactions. First rub it on your skin, see if there is a reaction, rub it on your lips, see if there is a reaction. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO MUSHROOMS!
Go on one of the many guided foraging walks, do your research, identify the plants/mushrooms/berries - ask the experts.
Even if a plant is edible, many have limitations on how much you should eat and/or special considerations regarding preparation.
