Hello ! I just started a raspberry wine with all my wild wine berries that grow all over my property here in Pa... I do know a fair amount about edible plants here .. That being said here's a little list:

Wild fruits --
Raspberries , grapes, strawberries, and (cooked) elderberries.. Which are my favorite. I actually used to batter fry and eat whole elderberry flowers with some of the stalk too when I was a kid.. Tastes like funnel cake also you can do the same with Day lilies

Not sure how interested you are in wild nuts but here is some anyway--
Beach, chestnut, and chinquapin can all be roasted and eaten

Here's some other stuff:

-Red and white clover, reds should be soaked and boiled at least 10 minutes.. And whites can be eaten straight up before the flowers bloom
-water lilly can all be cooked and eaten
-field mustard, you can eat any part of this plant and it is delicious
-burdock - you can eat young leaves, pith, and inner roots (boil first)
- fiddleheads (as is or boiled)

And of course ... mushrooms ! I don't know how to identify too many edible ones but they are certainly all over this wonderful PA landscape !

Hope that helps or is worth some bit of value to you !

-cheers
