What kind of pea is this?
I'm over in Washington state US and there's lots of this verity of pea around my area. The closest I could find this is a beach pea but those seem to have very different leaves than what I see here. Any other ideas or is my first guess correct? More importantly, can I eat it?
(ignore the mini black berry vine below it.)

What is this?
And is it edible? If so, how do I go about preparing it? Google says both garlic and onion but I can't figure out a definite answer. The stock is hollow

Is it hackberry?
Found in Toronto. Came to ripeness recently. I tried one, very delicious and sweet. Soft and mushy.

Is this prunus serotina?
I use the Picture This app a lot (with a grain of salt, never to confirm ID before eating) and this tree in my backyard came back as black cherry. My confusion is that the app says it’s toxic, and toxic to pets. My chickens forage around this area a lot (I realize they can eat different things than, say, me). But I also just generally thought Prunus serotina was edible?
Can someone confirm this plant and also if it is in fact safe to consume?
Piedmont triad region of North Carolina.
Sorry if this isn’t allowed. PlantIdentification wouldn’t allow me to ask about edible plants.

Is this version of amaranthus tricolor edible? Keep seeing mixed things.
Planted it mostly because I thought it was pretty but I’ve seen some posts saying you should and others saying you should not eat this particular species of amaranth

Need help identifying this cone.
So I ate some of this cone thinking it’s from a blue spruce since I found it under one, but now after searching a bit it seems different from a spruce cone. The taste is quite floral (like a perfume) the cone itself is fleshy and not hard, but also too big to be an immature cone.
Anyone have an idea what and where this cone is from?

Is this a type of Chickweed? (Presumably Edible, my Mother got this plant from a friend who had been using it for Salad and She herself have been eating it for over 2 years now)
She's just curious what it is because she had forgotten.
The leaves taste like snowpea's.
Could be common purslane?

Is this plant edible? It is called ice plant.
And if yes, what is edible, which parts of this plant? Whole green part or leaves only? In salad maybe, can l eat it without any preparation?

Is this samphire?
Hi, I found a large patch of these shoots growing on the foreshore of a UK river at low tide. These shoots are about 4in tall. To me it looks similar to samphire, I tried to ID it on a plant site but all their images of samphire seem darker green and taller so I’m not sure if these are just young shoots or something else. Any thoughts? Thanks!
