Template:Wildlife edibility disclaimer

Edibility disclaimer: An edibility label says only that the organism is conventionally eaten in Western foodways or is recognized as a survival food. It is not an identification guarantee, permission to harvest, legal guidance, preparation instructions, or a statement that a particular specimen is safe. Misidentification, disease, contamination, pesticides, allergies, spoilage, season, protected status, hunting and foraging rules, landowner authorization, and required processing can all make consumption unsafe or illegal. Do not forage, hunt, trap, harvest, butcher, or eat anything based only on this guide. Consult Proto-Town management for current foraging or hunting information before attempting it yourself, and follow all applicable laws and expert safety guidance.
