Redbay (Persea borbonia) is an evergreen tree found in the US southeast which can grow to 65 feet tall.  Use the leaves as a gentle spice in all ways that you would traditionally use commercially distibuted bay leaves in cooking.

The droopy Mayapple plant (Podophyllum) produces a single fruit on its second year, which is sweet, edible, and non-toxic once it turns yellow.  The entire plant--highly toxic including the green fruit--may otherwise be mashed into a pulp and added to hot water, then used to soak a cloth wrap to treat a variety of skin conditions.  The raw pulp may be placed directly on warts to aid in removal, an

"Fiddleheads" refer to the curled tips of a young fern, which for most varieties of ferns may be raw in moderation, and which for all varieties may be cooked and consumed in unlimited quantity as a green.  When harvesting, look for young ferns with tender fronds--to be safe, collect only 2-inch segments from the tip of the plant.  Great additive to stews.
