There was a guy a few years ago who tried to live off grid. He died, having left behind a journal detailing his final days. In it, he logged the exact process you outlined above for various things he foraged, which included wild potato seeds. Turns out those things pass all the above tests, but that builds up over time that no one really knew about. Poor guy starved because he was too weak to even crawl.
nature be scary fellow humans. Be careful out there.

That’s interesting, my general rule for foraging wild unknown things is: don’t.
