Knowing what not to forage is just as important as knowing what to forage. One brings you magic, one brings you death, and you better be prepared for both!

Mugwort and poison hemlock are super easy to distinguish one from the other. They’re not even remotely seminar.

Does it smell like pepsi when broken open? Cause when I was a kid I would play with stuff that looked exactly like that and get a rash

How can we tell what dandelions are the good ones to forage? Is there dandelions or lookalikes that aren't good to pick

Ok but I need to know about how to tell thr difference when the shoots are young. As far as I know. Mugwort and hemlock are ez to tell cuz the silver backing.. but carrots?!?! (I know hemlock is smooth and carrots are fuzzy but does young hemlock not have the purple splotches???)
