I never tried yet bracken fern, they don't attract me that much, but here we
have a small fern that grow on rotten wood that taste like licorice (the
roots of licorice fern),a few species of lilies are edible raw but some
might be toxic, and  raw ,cattail is one of those foods so precious for
their starchy rhyzoms and heart( very filling like mallows ).
glad to see your interest in raw wild plants, lets exchange our experiences
