I live in the Rio Grande valley, not much to forage until the rains come in. But these New Mexico Olive trees grow all up and down the river, they are always so full of fruit. But they are painfully bitter.

Inedible doesn't always mean you can't eat it, it can also mean that you wouldn't want to eat it.

Birch polypore comes to mind, it's not poisonous but it tastes so bad that you wouldn't want to eat it.
