I've been gardening almost all my life and still have trouble compiling much 
of a list of what tolerates shade.  In our temperate north, it seems very 
little really does well in very much shade.  In partial shade, I'll be trying:

ginseng
burdock, both edible japanese gobo like carrots and wild burdock to make 
burdock tea
"Ornablue" variety blueberry [or other blueberry varieties, I just happen to 
have this]
Oregon grape root [medicinal plant friend recommended]
currants [don't have any, I'll have to buy/swap for some]
mulberry [one or two on a trial basis]

again, deep shade and not much of anything will grow.
Charlie Paradise, Massachusetts too many trees here
