What about the tree hemlock? Is that poisonous as well?

If you are refering to the Hemlock Pine, of the confer family no it is not.

I think you are absolutely right regarding wild mushrooms. I teach my students to never eat a wild mushroom. Some 96% of mushrooms will make you sick or kill you. Compare that to lichen, of which only two out of 20,000 species are toxic (of course lichen have to be prepared correctly.) I get a lot of grief from mushroom fanatics for telling my students not to eat wild mushrooms but I think that is the only responsible approach to take. There is little food value in mushrooms and a lot of risk.

It takes years of training and even learning from an experienced person. But there are many mushrooms that are safe that have no poisonous look alikes that you can safely learn to identify and enjoy eating, instead of missing out on a world of flavor.

The ones that say don't eat any mushroom are the ones that usually never took the time to learn what ones have no poisonous look alikes or learned what ones do and the differences.

The world of plants requires the same knowledge.

I was wondering is the bloodroot any good for poison ivy rashes?

Dave Im now wondering after watching this video ,can we use some of these toxic plants to put on darts , that would take down an animal , some tribes use different plants, mix certain plants together. Are there any common plants in the US that you know of that can be used on a dart.

Thanks, for a most enjoyable video however mayapple is in the barberry family (Berberidaceae), not the mandrake family (Solanaceae).

There needs to be more info on the poisonous plants.from what i have read there are more bad plant than there a good one>I have seen a lot of bad videos edible plant.and kid are adults going out and not really know what there eating.

Nice video. Thank you for sharing. However, I do not agree with you about poison mushrooms. There are way more safe ones then poison ones. Also, the mushroom clan have 3 times as many types as there are in the plant world. The medicine and food value of the mushrooms is very vast. And should not be dismissed out of fear.
