I'm needing educated on Ohio wild edibles
I've read a bit but always seeking more information about what is growing that can be harvested.
So ummm help! 😆
 
I'd say the most popular are Morel mushrooms (and other wild shrooms), Raspberries, Blackberries, Ramps, Paw-Paws. Milkweed, Chickweed, Purple Dead Nettle, Dandelion greens (although every part of the plant is edible) to name a few.
 
Jamie hit the nail on the head. Ohio is a great place for shrooms and berries. Ramps are not as prevalent as they are in WV, but there are still plenty of places to harvest them. I'll add mullberries to the list. Old homesteads in Wayne National can yield these and other good edibles. I'd venture to say the best foraging in the state is south of I-70 if I were placing a bet on it.
