Fast growing plants for the shade...?

Hey all -- long time no post.  :)

I have a particularly shady back yard courtesy of the trees which form quite
a canopy back there.  The canopy is cool -- the shade ain't.  Of course, it
also means we do not have to mow back there very much any more.  :-P

I want to replant the area but I'm especially interested in plants that have
wildlife value -- specifically, those that will yield food in the form of
berries, nuts, fruit, and so forth.  To make things even more fun, I want to
start these from seed because I'm just too cheap to buy the plants (ok,
maybe it's cause I'm too poor to buy THAT many plants from the nursery, but
I won't admit to that!  <Grin>) so I want them to grow pretty fast as well.
If they're invasive that's fine by me.  :)

So -- thoughts, suggestions?
