The entire plant is edible but it's the tuber where all everything else comes out of that's the prize as it's very similar to potato
However if you do find a colony, harvest responsibly because removing the tuber kills the plant completely and the rest of the colony will need to repopulate.
I don't trust my ID skills without a field guide, so they're safe from annihilation by me. But that's still nice to know, thank you!
Knowing me I would harvest nightshade. I hear it tastes great, but nobody ever asks for seconds.
They say everything is edible at least once! I'm not going to test the theory but it's what they say!
It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially with foraging.
