Hello to all of those that forage. I need these plants to be identified for me so when I try my hand at foraging, I don't poison myself. Thank you in advance!

You can upload pics to https://identify.plantnet.org/ to help identify things. It is mostly a percentage of a chance of what the plant is though and seems to work decently but sometimes you dont really know for sure between the choices they give you. Better than nothing I guess.

I think I recognise some of them, but I am on a different continent and different things can appear very similar sometimes. A flora is a good investment, once you have learned to use it you can make a positive and certain identification. It can be quite fun. When I was young Dad used to play a game of picking a flower and leaf from every plant you can find on a walk, it is surprising how many there are, even in built up areas, every pavement crack has something .

The first one is spotted spurge and not edible, but possibly toxic. The last picture has 2 plants, one of which is Lycoris which can be deadly.

First of all, these pictures suck. You need both a close-up and an overall of the whole plant to make a decent ID. There are a couple of things here I recognize and others that I might, but I'd need to see the whole plant. However, if you upload Google Lens it can probably give you an ID for most if not all of these. It's really quite amazing -- but double-checik. Spurge is right for the first one. The second photo could be several things, looks like cosmos leaves, a flower. #5 looks like grapes but I don't think so, # 8 is dandelion, # 11 wild sorrel. I know nothing about the edibility of any of these, except dandelions. And they are very, very bitter. Wild sorrel is so small, it has a sour sorrel taste, but the food value I would doubt. They don't look to me like the things people I know who gather wild plants eat, except for the dandelions.
