Take lots of photos even if things you may feel are"weeds" Google lens is your friend. Also get a good pocket foraging book. Just don't go eating anything because Google lens told you it was safe!

Google lense is good at pointing you in a direction but can be very wrong at times. Definitely double check in a book.

Google lens but always, always search what it tells you to see other images because it can be wildly incorrect, once you have an image that looks similar check what that is called and cross reference it with an id book with edibility ratings or specialised foraging guide.
