You should get a blood packet and put that in your mouth or nose after you eat them and start convulsing. That'll be sure to make the prank even better.
Deadly nightshade is super common in UK. I was picking blackberries yesterday with my nephew who is 4 and showed him the deadly poisonous belladonna berries right next to each other so was a Very good learning moment for him!!!
Music puns are tight, barely an inconvenience... Edited because autocorrect autofailed. My phone made tight right, as if that's a pitch meeting reference...
I found black nightshade berries on the fences of my school yard back in elementary. Twas a Cub Scout and I went 'round identifying plants around the yard when I found em. I proceeded to eat some and got the somewhat staining juice on my hands. Came back in and a teach found my stained hands and questioned. I, very proudly, stated that I had identified nightshade berries on the fence and ate some. This, of which, threw the teacher into a panic. I was rushed to the nurse's, poison control was called, and everyone was worrying. I was trying to explain that there are good nightshade berries and bad. Poison control calmed the adult's down after they had me tell them the type of nightshade and confirmed with them I was telling them correctly. The berries and all plants on the fences were promptly removed a few days after. 😅
@@jodyrobertson996yeah, the teacher should've just trusted him and if they do die you can have the excuse of, "he said they were fine" cause it's not like it's elementary school teachers job to make sure a stupid kid doesn't kill themselves
And i can tell the difference between rotten entrails laying on the ground and cooked ground beef on the kitchen counter! Wanna know how? Because aside from being a somewhat similar color, they're obviously completely different! Glad we could share such vital knowledge with eachother.
@@freestylegamingartist8192 The entire plant is covered in microscopic silica pods/spines filled with pain inducing venom. On contact, they enter the skin and some release their venom. Worst of all, not all the spines trigger and can cause unexpected bouts of excruciating pain up to 10 years after the initial contact. The leaves are also about the right size you'd want a leaf to be for cleaning up your backside after using the privy and a lot of early settlers got a debilitatingly nasty surprise.
Oooohhhhh!!!!!! Now see I didn't know this. I was about to eat a handful of the toxic ones but my uncle screamed for my Mom to not eat them, she ran in lightening speed and smacked them out of my hands. No wonder he had that berry bush destroyed for my safety. Thank you so much for explaining this.
I am from Kodagu, India. We fry the leaves of edible berries with onion springs, and pepper and season with some salt. It's the authentic vegetarian food of the Kodagu people.
I wonder that too, the dangerous flowers like angel’s trumpet, azaleas, and roses (to name a few) are always the prettiest. I guess it’s for looks, not touches
For the opposite reason that some animals use bright colors to warn other animals of their poison. The plants don’t want to be eaten, but they do want pollination (the vibrancy attracts bees and other pollinators) and if their poison is eaten, then that’s one less thing to keep eating them.
To attract pollinators. Many animals can consume things poisonous to us. Birds spread the seeds of many fruits and berries that are toxic to us. Like birds help spread the seeds of deadly nightshade. And how bees, butterflies and hummingbirds can consume the toxic nectar of azaleas and angel’s trumpet.
Welcome! More plant and tree info on the way. :D We actually have a free tree identification basics class coming up this Thursday! (Check my community posts for more info)
My mother was obsessed with deadly nightshade. As an adult gardener, I discovered that nightshade appears in our garden regularly in summer. However, the deadly nightshade form appears in only one small area of our province in North Canterbury. I used to totally freak out at nightshade flowers until I realised that their similarity to tomato blossoms was a positive identifier as deadly nightshade flowers are a different colour, size and shape. Yay!
The problem with deadly nightshade berries is that they are delicious, too. They are dangerous to children. Adults sometimes eat them for their... recreational purposes.
Also, a lot of species in the genus _Solanum_ are relatively harmless and can be identified by their leaves or flowers. _Atropa_ , however, looks totally different. Nice video btw! 👍🏻
I found several separate bittersweet nightshade plants last summer. My first immediate thought was "oo, red berries, wonder if its edible?" looked it up and found out its toxic. I was filled with disappointment.
ive read a thesis in my college about night shade berries, the reason why poisonous nightshade dont exist in the northern hemisphere is because of the insects that helps pollinate the plant. Near the equator has more diverse unfriendly insects/animals for berries hence it evolved to be poisonous. and you guess it... Bees helps about a chunk of flowering plant in the northern hemisphere making the black night shade evolved themselves to wants to be eaten
@@lovelydeath04I tried to grow it this season too! I ended up giving up but will try again. It's cool to find other people doing the same :). And from what I can gather yeah its finicky to germinate but after that super hearty.
The plant for us Cameroonian, is a staple vegetable. We call it Njamsu or njama njama ❤ we don’t eat the seeds but they are highly medicinal 🇨🇲❤️❤️ the vegetable is delicious 🤤
We have quite a bit of black nightshade in my part of Australia. My father ALWAYS called it deadly nightshade but I used google to find out what it really was.
@@carolinalomeli9128 cranberries are swapped for dyed raisins all the time, it’s not far fetched. For most people the visual component is the one that leads your experience or interpretation of what you’re eating. Why else color skittles, kool-aid or fruit loops
Actually you can also eat the leaves. Here in northeast India we boil them with some salt chillies onion garlic and dry bamboo shoots. It's one of my fave leafy vegetable.
I don't know how you've not come across deadly nightshade in the northeast. This was one of the first plant identifications I learned and probably started my passion for wild edibles and foraging. So I've definitely found both all over New England, especially Vermont. I think it might like higher elevation than where it appeared you are. Good luck
Hey! I'd love if you could share a photo of Atropa belladona from New England to my Discord channel! There are no recordings of it in that area on iNaturalist, which I think is odd. discord.com/invite/Cy4fuw4cq9
Nightshade is a wide family. Completely harmless tomatoes. Stomach upsetting chilies. Undigestable raw Eggplant. Murderous Nightshade. Potato that spoils itself.
its amazing how our ancestors found out about what is deadly and what isn't. almost like someone had to take one for the team or they let animals try it.
I've got a hugeee black nightshade specimen in my garden currently, it spread through my one half of my garden before finally settling in the middle..😂 and now is growing extremely well in that one huge plant. Gotta say I personally love the dainty flowers and the plant itself, the way it grows in shape & flowers , I've yet to try the berries though !
I have (found deadly nightshade in the Northeastern US). The flowers are tiny, purple with a bright yellow pistol and reflexed petals (like a tomato flower.) The plants are also vine-line in form with shiny berries that turn dark black-purple in the fall.
Found some in some brambles doing a clients garden a few weeks ago in South East England, it's on ground owned by local council, hence why it's so overgrown, it has been reported by the garden owner, as its near where kids could possibly touch them, although mainly protected by the almost deadly brambles 😅. Very easy to tell difference thankfully, but definitely if there's any hint of a doubt, walk away, never argue with yourself over it 🙏
It's nice to meet another plant t / foodie, but a lot of people don't want to hear what you have to say so I keep it to myself I be having some extravagant meals all just from plants and someone else's backyard!!! Live long and pick 'em smoke'em then eat 'em!!!!
You may not be knowing about "Black night shade" Leafs... Come to india, Exactly to tamilnadu. You can learn more about this plants & and its medicinal uses by taking as like food. Its the guardian of "Alimentary Track" Our peoples using more than 1000+ years.
I remember back in Florida, I had the poisonous one in my backyard. I picked them as a kid and my dad would slap me for it, then explained I was harvesting poison.
That black night shade plant is used as spinach in india, (especially in Tamilnadu )which heals stomach ulcer...... The raw berry of black night shade is dried & used in making gravy called "vatha kulambu". We call that plant as "Manathakkali" (மணத்தக்காளி) in Tamil........💙
This is definitely not true, you need a mammalian system similar to yours eating something Birds easily eat things that make humans sick, pyricanthus for instance
@namedrop721 Lmaoo, that's what my grandpa told me. He was the one who grew up on a farm, not I. 🤷🏾♀️i'm more inclined to listen to my grandpa, but ill take your information into consideration
I have tried black nightshade when I was a kid and my mum gave them to me. It is sweet and delicious but since then, I have never seen black nightshade ever again
The safe version is called MORA in Central America.. But here no one eats the black berries from the plant. Here people use that to prepare meat, chicken or egg Soups 🍲 and other dishes.
I thought my small dark purple berries were potato berries but your description seems a lot more accurate.. this plant came up in a planter where I had potato and tomato the previous year. Small flowers with a ton of little green grouped berries turning to purple..small round berries no bigger than a blueberry in groups.. is it a potato, something else , edible or toxic ? Idk lol
I've found deadly nightshade on an AF base outside a building where the Lockheed Martin engineers worked, none of those guys knew what it was and one guy was going to eat a berry till I stopped him
I've had both grow in my garden here in Germany, but I imagine the edible one might have been a different variety cuz I thought it tastes pretty atrocious, very bitter and soapy compared to other berries
Oh, wow ok. I remember seeing a plant that I thought was blueberry, then quickly recognized as niteshade and left it alone. Apparently I could have eaten it. Note that I was a small child at the time.
I've been considering producing some jelly from bird cherries which are abundant in my area, but also there are some alder buckthorns growing nearby and it seems the healthy juice is not worth the risk of the dumb way to die 😂
Hello FeralForaging. I’ve trapped you in this room for no good reason. There are two berries infront of you. One is deadly nightshade,and the other is black nightshade. You are in the dark,with your hands strapped to a chair,and your feet are made of tea. You must distinguish which is which simply by measuring their size. But there is a catch. I’ve enlarged the black nightshade to around the same size as the deadly variant. Good luck, and don’t die.
Funny enough i knew this and loved sharing my knowledge about different plants and their effects on the human body, the lore everything. Yet no one would believe me when I would want to talk about something i was intrigued with and share it with my friends or they would just ignore that i was even there or talking because and I quote "why would a girl interested in poisonous plants" "freaky weirdo" "are you a witch" "do you want us to burn you tomato head" typical middle school bullshit lmao.
LOL I ate one of those black shiny ones once, it tasted awful and I thought there was a bug in it bc of how bad it tasted, I’m very glad I wasn’t a statistic on natural selection lol
I would NEVER eat a berry directly from the plant in the forest -> worms! Foxes, rabbits, wolves and whatnot around here carry worm-eggs which are usually found in heigths up to 120cm / 4foot. So while I LOVE to collect me some berries - I bribg them home and give them a good and thorough rinse with soem warm water! then enjoy them
The leafs around them were the sign my grandpa told me about. Said "they're always alone, hiding in leaves. Waiting for someone to take the bait."
That sounds like he may be talking about something else 😅
Your grandpa was a fae druid I think
I think your grandpa might be a wizard
Thank you, I'm definitely going to remember that now!
Has he been to vietnam?
“Oh look, Nightshade!” And as your friends watch in horror, you devour a dozen berries at once.

@@emilysmith2965 😂😂
If you can find and eat a dozen that fast than that's probably black nightshade, cuz the video said they group up
Omw back to college to see if the nightshade that grows by a couple houses is edible and scaring my less anxious friend
You should get a blood packet and put that in your mouth or nose after you eat them and start convulsing. That'll be sure to make the prank even better.

quick rule of thumb in nature: if anything is colorful, its probably poisonus
If it looks like it wants to be seen, that means it doesn’t need to worry; you do, however
black isn't really colorful lol
Yeah, like oranges 😂
that doesnt look colorful to me
no.
Why are the poison flowers so pretty tho?
because they want us to die

do curious teenagers also sometimes eat them?
