      Or just pick mushrooms that do not have a poisonous lookalike. I've picked mushrooms of different kinds since I was five and I'm not dead yet, however, never pick a mushroom unless you're 100% sure it's eatable. And if you've never picked mushrooms before, you could always take someone knowledgable with you just to be sure.

    If you live in a moisture abundant area, search for Cattail with its unmistakable cigar like flower head. The entire plant is useful.
    The root can be used to make soup, as it is full of starch
    The middle stalk is full of jelly which can be used as analgesics
    The rest of the stem can also be cooked
    The cigar like flower head is an excellent fire tinder.

It's perfectly legal to buy the spores online too. My history teacher used to tell us a story of how his brother died when he was 28 because he mis-identified some mushrooms he ate. He was a botany field expert too and he fucked up. Don't fucking touch wild mushrooms there are literally millions of species and many that are deadly look identical to edible ones.

      it's actually super interesting, because basically, with enough practice, you can become an extremely efficient forager. meaning, you can find lots of edible plants, collect them quickly, for a low amount of effort and time.

    One thing you can also quite easily forage (might required some effort, though) is palm tree. To my knowledge, there are no poisonous palm trees, and they all have a soft core, white to off-white color that is incredibly nutritious. The hard part is that the yield is low and it is right in the middle, which means you need a way to take the tree down and open it. And also palm trees are more of a tropical seaside plant so it mostly grows close to tropical forests.

    Not gonna lie this would be relatively easy here in NE oklahoma. On my 1.5 acre land there's mulberry trees, mockernut hickory trees, black cherry trees, persimmon trees, a slippery elm (Only one sapling), black walnut trees, a black oak tree, redbud trees, apple trees (we planted these), peach trees (planted these as well), some kind of grape vine, and last but certainly not least, a somewhat regular population of genuine morels.
    Disclaimer - I don't know much about edible plants, I just like trees. There's probably more ground plants that you can eat, and there's loads more mushrooms that I don't know about. There's also very abundant populations of squirrel, bunnies, and deer. And that's not getting into how productive the rivers around here are.
