Cut this for a friend yesterday. Was amazed at how bright the colors were. Pics don't do it justice. Any ideas? Spikey stuff, but not so sharp as rose.

Makes good poke salad when it's small.
I cut some mulberry the other day. Some big trees, some small bushes like that with yellow wood. Autumn berry bushes aren't "spikey", and don't have thorns.Cut this for a friend yesterday.

Symptoms of poisoning begin right after eating. The first symptom is a burning feeling in the stomach, followed within two hours by vomiting, diarrhea, and gastroenteritis (inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines). As the toxin enters the bloodstream and central nervous system, more general symptoms appear, including salivation, sweating, vision disturbances, weak pulse, and shallow breathing. Death results when the narcotic effect of the toxin paralyzes the respiratory system. Autopsy reveals severe liver damage and bleeding and ulceration of the stomach and intestines.
I see this plant now and then when I'm in the woods bow hunting or doing trees. never knew what it was.

And even after all that, the acorns are still bitter. Dandelion tea is pretty nice, and pretty good for you as well.Prep sounds similar to all the work the indians used to do to eat acorns way back. Run fresh water across the nut meat for 3 days. Way too much work. I tried dandelion salad when I was a kid and realized why everybody tries killing it instead

Then you cook it in a skillet with an egg and some green onions. Goes great with beans, fried taters and corn bread.Yep, that's why you've got to boil it and wash it three times.
