I'm sure someone else will mention this as well, but don't eat and fungi growing on a yew tree, such as Chicken of the Woods or Oyster mushrooms as these can contain the poison from the tree. If anyone else wants to expand on this that would be great.

Carpenters have to be very careful when working with yew due to the toxicity, however the wood is fantastic for making english longbows because of its elasticity.

Nice video, learning the most poisons plants is a good place to start learning about wild plants.

Just to add on to what this lovely gentleman is saying; yew berries do taste very nice but it's essential to spit out the seed or remove it before eating. I looked it up briefly and there doesn't seem to be adverse effects from eating a large quantity of yew berries and it appears you can also make jam out of them - but it's always worth doing more and more research and there are plenty of other delicious, more flavorful berries that don't put you at risk of poisoning yourself.

I'm glad you put gloves on showing the poison plants

great vlog, im just starting to be able to recognise certain species...could you do a mushroom foraging video..awesome work

Thank You Sir. Love From Dublin Ireland x

Thanks for that info. Might come in handy. I'll watch out for the next one

Great video! 😁 looking forward to part 2

nice new channel i am happy to have discovered, can see some good growth coming soon, very informative, keep up the vids, subbed

Thank you ❤️

epic. can't wait for you to show an Atropa belladonna.

Thank you home schooling sorted for Monday

Any nightly assassins in the chat 😂

I love this, when is part 2 coming :-)

Very helpful thank you.

If you're pruning Yew or working the with the wood the saw dust can be inhaled and is also toxic.

Thanks for this very good information

To myself the pictures of water hemlock looks so much like creeping buttercup, tho I wouldnt consider eating the latter either

Wow thanks for that 👍👏

Great little video..

School day again, excellent video

Very useful video. I like what you are doing with your channel. I also like that you keep your videos simple without going into lengthy and boring explanations. May I ask if you could make a video in the future about how to distinguish a pine from a spruce tree and a fir? I am aware that they are good resources for bushcrafting as well as foraging. Thank you

I remember one of my first times out foraging in late January I was out looking for Dock Leaves and maybe nettles and then I spotted 2 leaves of Lords and Ladies. I thought "Hm I recognise those, maybe it's sorrel. But I knew better to be safe than sorry and didn't pick anything and I've very happy I did that.

I’m sticking to buying of the self, although this also presents hidden life changing issues! Hell on earth springs to mind !!!

I've got that Lords and Ladies in my front garden. Been trying to get rid of it for years. Seems to be resistant to weedkiller.

I took a photo of some bright red berries growing on a pointy green stem a few inches off the ground, on the edge of a wood, they look just like the berries of the arum maculatum shown here. However, they are surrounded with leaves that look more like ivy than the ones shown, I don't know if the leaves and berries were definitely part of the same plant or not. Are there many other plants that have berries just like the arum maculatum?

I am happy to recover this channel

i ate a arum berry i felt like a just fanted i was 5 lucky they were not ripe

A few years ago, I ate some dog's mercury, thinking it was ground elder. It tastes very hot & peppery! I only ate two leaves. I was ok, luckily. I now know what ground elder looks like!

Leg end

What about purple berries that’s are clear inside and are the colour of my profile pis

Thanks for sharing.. What herbs can help if someones accidentally eaten yew / hemlock etc and no medical help available ?

Best to avoid all umbellifers, due not only because of the water hemlock but also the closely related Conium macculata and the invasive giant hogweed.

Isn’t wolfsbane the most poisonous plant in the uk?

What about broccoli

I was honestly sad that it ended, "wood" loved to have seen more

I'll stay carnivore thanks.
