Very interesting. I'm glad you included the toxicity; I was all psyched until that moment. I think I'll stick to wild strawberries.

I don't think many know about the relatively recent studies into the toxicity of the plants in the aristolochiaceae which is why I included it. I'd always sheard it was edible, but when I started digging it appeared that's not the best idea.

HOLY COW. Do you know how many foraging guides I've seen--up to and including my copy of the Peterson guide to edible plants--that give a full thumbs-up to eating A. canadense?? YIKES. We have a fairly robust little patch in our back yard, and I kept meaning to harvest and candy some of the rhizomes. Chronic procrastination may generally be unkind to me, but in this case I think it's my new best friend, because I WILL NOT be doing that now! A valuable service indeed. Thank you!!

I think the discovery that it contains the same chemicals as other members of the pipevine family is fairly recent. The levels aren't as high as some of the pipevines, but I'd rather not take the chance.

I bought the Diboll & Cox book you recommended and it's excellent! One thing I can't find, though, is a legend explaining the colors used in the maps. They're similar but apparently not quite the same as BONAP (which has very confusing colors, making it hard to tell what's really native where...).
@BackyardEcology
3 ай бұрын
Glad you like the book! I believe the maps are from BONAP or derived from them and use the same color key - dark green species present in state and native, light green species recorded in county, yellow species present but rare, and orange species extirpated but was recorded as present historically. Basically if the light green, yellow, or orange is where you are, the species has been recorded there. Maps don't always show the complete range of a species as it may just not have been recorded officially in a place it occurs. It can be confusing.

Yep. The amount of the chemicals that cause the damage is quite variable between wild ginger plants - some have very little, others quite a bit and since there is no known safe level it is probably best just not to eat it.
