Audio Revised: Thanks to the feedback from our viewers we worked on the audio levels again. We appreciate your comments as it helps us to get better.
During the spring it can be quite difficult to identify Wild Onion. This video gives identifiers between a look a like plant, Salsify, and Wild Onion. This video is intended to compliment the other videos about wild onion.
Disclaimer: As always, please remember to do your own extensive research before using any plans for consumption or medicine. Do not rely on any of my videos for positive identification. If you find written sources from credentialed authors, you can develop the knowledge and confidence to safely engage in foraging. I am an amateur ethnobotanist myself, so everyone can forage safely and confidently if they are willing to put in the time to develop an “expertise” derived from expert sources.

Thanks for watching. Please be aware that there is much variability within the genus to which wild onion belongs. Some species have leaves which appear more grasslike than is found in the species from my region.

@@rockymountainedibles3593 I figured that much from watching your channel. Keep teaching the KZfaq audience about the wild.

You may want to include poisonous look alikes. Without flower heads, lilies like the death camas can be mistaken for salsify or onion. New sub here, though. The last snowdrift behind my house is melting, so I'm getting excited about wildflower & wild food season!

Thanks for the idea.

There are many plant species which look very similar especially before the flowering stage occurs.

Never heard of Salsify

It’s an awesome plant. Sometimes people refer to it as a giant dandelion because of some superficial similarities. Although they are actually quite different genetically and also in physical appearance.
