I have seen Jack in the Pulpit growing in the woods in southwestern Missouri in the Ozarks where we live. I regret that I never paid it much attention but I will from now on.
@m005kennedy Yes I have eaten them many times. Some folks do have a sensitivity to them. Many people have sensitivities to many plants, wild and domestic and everyone should be aware of this when trying something new.
@Wolfwinterember Is this the same as what we call "Indian turnip" in north Georgia? I was told that Indian turnip would ruin your mouth for a while (days with swelling) unless you cooked it. Something to do with microscopic needle-like parts. People used to pull the old "Try this!" on folks. Thanks for posting.
@woodsinme -you caught me online. Yes it is also known as "Indian Turnip". Cooking it wiil NOT make it edible. Only through complete drying will the Oxylate Crystals be neutralized. Thanks for watching!
@brotherbear000 I have tried this but the Jack-in-the-pulpit is quite fragile, like most wild flowers. If you remove the plant from the bulb, the plant dies in short time. The plant cannot live without the root bulb.
I saw a picture of this plant in my 3rd grade reader(1947) and was so fascinated by it, that I recognised it 50 years later when I saw one for the first time. They were growing on the side of a hill in a shady area, just one here and there. (Central Illinois)
@Ghostkamo - thanks much! I do appreciate the feedback. Someday when I find the time between teachings, healings, energy work, making learning cd's...I would like to be able to see some of your videos as well to see what you do. But for now I have no time to watch any videos of any kind.

Have you really eaten these? Some say even after drying for months they are still will burn your mouth.

Excellent wild edible vid. I like the way you showed the terrain as you led up to the plant. Great job on the plant ID and description.
