THIS SECTION OF THE SITE IS NEW AND WILL BE CONTINUALLY UPDATED (4/11/08).
All of the information found on Nature’s Secret Larder is for guidance only. The site is not intended to be a resource to help you identify any plants, trees or fungi, it is simply a source of historical information. It is important to be aware that some plants, trees and fungi in Britain and other parts of the world are poisonous and some deadly. Some people may also have bad reactions to ‘edible’ flora or fauna. I do not make any warranties as to the safety of consuming any wild foods and accept no liability or responsibility for any consequences, symptoms or health problems that may arise from coming into contact with any wild flora or fauna mentioned. Anyone who eats wild food or puts themselves into contact with wild food for any reason does so at their own risk. Always seek professional guidance before sampling any wild foods or medicinal plants, trees or fungi and if in doubt do not eat it.
