Wild Carrot or Poison Hemlock? #foraging

[FeralForaging]

There was a jump cut in my previous video on this subject that I think caused some confusion. Hopefully the text overlays in this video clears everything up! As I mentioned in the video, don’t feel compelled to forage for Queen Anne’s Lace (Daucus carota) due to its resemblance of Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum). It took me some years before I was confident myself. Last addendum is that you may notice I’m touching the Poison Hemlock. While there are some cases of skin reactions, I’ve spent a lot of time with this plant and never had an issue like this before. Your mileage may vary.

If you have a hard time remembering which plant is hairy just remember that the Queen has hairy legs. easy peasy.

Sad fact: Hemlock is what killed Socrates.

There's an old saying that helps us to remember "the Queens legs are hairy" Queen Anne's Lace is the one with hairy stems. 😊

Outstanding close-ups. Greatly appreciated, thanks

Brilliant info, love your channel, new to it, thank you.

I really enjoy your content. Always liking you videos, but I will comment more because your content deserves to be high in the algorithm. I’m excited to see this channel grow!

Also Daucus Carota more often than not has center single dark flower amongst the white ones. Not always though. Also, "the queen has a skirt" under the umbel of flowers, and when it starts to go to seed, it forms a bird's nest kind of shape.

I knew about Queens Ann's lace! OMG thanks!

Unless you are in an absolute emergency eating situation there is zero reason to forage for wild carrot. At all. Risking your life over eating a weed is stupid. You can grow real carrots in a container if you are not homeless. And homeless folks can get food help.

I always walk down behind the wedding venue on my road... Just behind the little field of poison hemlock across the road.... No lie!!!

Think hemlock is more easily mistaken for cow parsnip.

Queen Anne’s lace around me isn’t really hairy. You have to tell by the flower pattern, red dot, and Pericles

[allspice]

is the purple flower in the middle of queen Anne's lace a distigusher at all?

[weeklywizard]

I always remember it this way: Queen anne’s legs are hairy

I actually find it especially difficult to see the differences in this video because the video quality is terrible on my end for one reason or another.

Is there a wild carrot too? I have one that looks like a wild carrot. Root smells like a carrot. And has those lil tiny round burrs that stick to you as you get near it. What is it?

[ThatOneGuyFromSchool]

I have a plant that looks just like the poisonous hemlock plant, but there's no purple spots on it 🤔 am I safe to touch it? Because I've been pulling them out of the ground while weeding lol

[PiccoloMichelaChannel]

Could ti be that in Italy is no hairy? I’ve just picked up some that are not hairy… and they smell very good 😓 now I throw them away, isn’t there also a double check where one of them is hollow and the other is full?

[ivyrose]

Is it possible for hemlock to not have the purple or very little of it?
