You NEED to Learn These 4 Poisonous Plants
Poisonous plants are not only part of our ecosystem, but are something that all foragers should learn so they can keep themselves and their loved ones safe. Learn these 4 poisonous plants to help you on your foraging journey. Mayapple is a plant that is unique in toxicity and edibility because the entire plant is poisonous EXCEPT the flesh of the fully ripened fruit. Horsenettle is a commonly found plant growing in fields and clearings and being a nightshade species, can be confused with other edible plants like Ground Cherry. Canada Moonseed is frequently found growing in wooded areas and its ripened fruits resemble that of wild grapes, however it is poisonous and should be avoided when looking for wild grapes. Water Hemlock is one of the most poisonous plants in the world and like its name implies, it loves moist areas. Resembling wild carrot to some people, this is a definite plant to know if you plan on foraging.

I ate my first ripe mayapple the other day. It was honestly the tastiest thing I've ever foraged.
Thanks for this video. I Definitely need to watch it more than once. Including follow up with my books and awareness and study during hikes.

Makes me want to live in the woods😊
I have yet to ever find a ripe May apple. The wild animals always beat me to them.😅

I was able to forage them a few times as a kid in Ohio. They will continue to ripen after picking, and will take on a pungent sweet apple-like scent. Discard the skin and seeds, the pulp can be quite good. One batch I left in the fridge too long, and the sweet scent became nauseatingly powerful, quite unique.
Thank you😊

This is probably going to get me in trouble. But can you do a video specifying water hemlock and queen Anne's lace aka wild carrot root. People use wild carrot root for a purpose and because these two look similar we would love to get a good taxonomy

Does water hemlock also have hollow stems? I thought I had hedge parsley, but it looked exactly like that. I still bagged it up and was careful as if it were deadly toxic as a precaution.
thanks for sharing. do you have knowledge of S.E. Asia flora as well? greetingd from Thailand

I do not unfortunately. Though sometime I'd love to visit Thailand and explore your nature, it's a beautiful country. Plus the food! Maybe I can learn some plants if I'm ever able to go there.
Is that the music from Merchant lol

Idk what that is, I'm assuming it's a video game? It might be because a lot of people use Kevin McLeod music.
I wish you would spell out words instead of speaking them c a n c... words will get your channel removed!

I'm not sure I understand but I'll take a guess. Saying a plant can be used for cancer is not the same as giving exact directions. There's a really weird gray area though and you're not wrong about certain things getting a channel removed or ad revenue taken away. Is that what you're hinting at?
