When walking through forest and you see this...be aware!

guys we're in the forest here on the Stoney Ridge Farm welcome to the farm Channel want to do a little Forest education with you this plant is called may apple this is the same thing this is a rhysomis species in other words it sends out rhizomes or roots and those roots are all interconnected on the forest floor they typically get about that high and when you see may apple may apple will have a little white flower and a little apple on it it is highly poisonous Native Americans used to use this as a laxative so don't eat it unless you know what you're doing and you can catch the May Apple at the right time and consume it and I hear it's pretty good now this is an indicator species for morel mushrooms so where you see may apple you'll probably see morel mushrooms here's your little Forest education from the Stoney Ridge Farm we'll see in the next video
