You know one thing I never see anyone point out..I know at least in the south, anywhere you find cattails growing you're also liable to a cottonmouth or two..

You can dig up the roots and eat the fresh croms most of the year.

How do you identify these plants?

Where is that? Cattails grow everywhere, but don't mistake them for sweet flag.

While you're gathering cattails, there are also yummy frogs and crawdads within reach, too.
