I cannot count them, I catagorize just the few plants that particularly intrigue me.
Except for a couple of plants that I consider too poisonous I eat everything else that comes in front me.
So if I have to, I have an easier time counting the poisonous plants I know, since I eat everything else.
Also, should very similar plants in the same family be counted separately? What about subspecies of the same species?

For me the line between edible and poisonous is also very blurred.
I usually ingest plants that are not even considered "god to eat" by people in the area.

However, most of them I eat very few of them, are actually few the plants (or fruits, seeds...) that I am able to eat in "large" quantities.
Still less the plants that are caloric enough to satiate me

Little story: Once I found very small and tasty berries after eating about 20 berries, I search on internet and read "European mistletoe is potentially fatal, in a concentrated form, and people can become seriously ill from eating the berries" but they didn't do anything to me and I continued to eat them in moderation Even today.

Mainly chestnuts.
Acorns are very promising
