You can eat quite a few native mushrooms and berries! Kawakawa have peppery berries that can be used as laxatives in large amounts and karaka have nice edible berries with poisonous seeds off the top of my head. There are fungi worth cultivating for food but yeah the plants are not all that appetising
You’re right, I’ve got no idea how I forgot about kawakawa! Had a delicious kawakawa chocolate a few years back that was one of the nicest chocolates I’ve had!
