Poisonous plants are an important thing to know when foraging wild edibles and medicinal plants, and in this video we cover 4 important ones that you should pay attention to. In the early spring during Morel season you might find a strange looking and unique plant known as Jack in the Pulpit. This plant is high in Oxalic Acid and can cause severe burning if ingested or through rough skin contact. Later in the summer you might come across another unique and strange looking plant known as Dolls Eyes or Baneberry. It get's its name from the white berries with black spots that resemble the eyes of a childhood doll. This plant is highly poisonous and can cause severe stomach upset or even worse if too much is consumed. We'll also take a look at the notorious poison ivy plant and compare it to another poisonous plant that many confuse with poison ivy known as Virginia Creeper. Lastly we'll look at the one of most deadly plants known to man, the Water Hemlock. This plant is so dangerous that a few grams of it can be fatal and it can be mistaken for edible plants like the wild carrot so it's important to know how to identify it so you don't poison yourself or your family.

Can you make a complete guide on berries. The edible and the poisonous. Mushrooms too will be great.

@TrilliumWildEdibles Жыл бұрын

I could make one on the berries I find here in Indiana though it wouldn't be a complete guide to all berries because there's just too many to cover. However it should have some good information on a few really common species. Thanks for the idea, I really like it!

@@TrilliumWildEdibles I appreciate it. I've been looking for any video with at least the most common in North America. I always see them, but I'm afraid of eating them while camping.

During the winter when the leaves are gone, I learned that you can tell poison ivy vines apart from virginia creeper by how hairy they look. Virginia creeper might have a couple tiny roots branching of the stem here and there but poison ivy is covered in them like its trying to fade in to the bark with a gradiant

In GA, people often confuse Virginia Creeper with Poison Ivy. Leaves of three, let them be. Creeper has five leaves. The oil in the poison ivy and oak is incredibly hard to dissolve, but it is imperative to remove it from tools and clothing, as well as skin, as it can last for years. Alcohol wipes work well on tools.

Yeah I know of someone who got poison ivy from using a tool that someone else used to cut the vine. Thankfully for them it was a mild reaction but it highlights the importance of being cautious.

I really appreciate your videos. I noticed that you often start up close with the details of the plant. It would really help me if you showed the whole plant at the beginning so I can see the whole before the details. In some of the videos, I keep waiting to see the whole plant, but sometimes you don't show the whole plant at all. This makes it really difficult for me to identify them in the natural. In the natural we most often see the bigger whole plant before we look more closely at the details. I also hope you read these comments and will see this. Bless you and thanks so much! Your videos are very helpful.

I try to when it's feasible but sometimes it just doesn't work well because my camera struggles to pick up all of the plant well because of all the other plants around it, especially on very large plants or plants that are thin and spindly surrounded by so much vegetation. I'll try to do it more if I can get it to work well because I agree that would be beneficial.

@@TrilliumWildEdibles Thanks so much for the explanation. It helps to understand your dilemma. I also appreciate your response and understanding and willingness to see how you can show the whole plant first and more often when feasible.

Summer 2022 was a “good year” for Water Hemlock in the Pacific Northwest. Several people died from them being mis-identified as wild carrot.

There's a remarkable look-alike to the poison ivy, namely Box Elder, which is a tree related to maple. Box elder's leaves are nearly identical to poison ivy's leaves.

It is so important to wear safety glasses when you're weed eating into brush near creeks and ponds. If that juice gets in your eyes Its as poisonous as ingesting it. It can also get in cracks and cuts of the skin. Hogweed looks like this but bigger. It's effects are terrible and long lasting.

The root needs to be dried then roasted to be edible but it's honestly not worth the effort. Tastes good, mild cocoa flavor but so small and it's honestly easier to just buy cocoa powder from the store.
