wild edibles
Uncultivated food sources
Wild edibles are plants, fungi, or other organisms that grow without cultivation and can be safely eaten.
The term appears in foraging guides and survival contexts: She taught a class on identifying wild edibles in the Pacific Northwest.
Common wild edibles include dandelion greens, morel mushrooms, and wild berries.
The phrase emphasizes both the uncultivated nature and the distinction from toxic lookalikes.
