I don't know, but I wouldn't want to use it to wipe with.  I have heard of 5-leaf poison ivy.

I'll have to keep a half an eye out, when I start looking for Morels.
Now watch I'll wake up one day all swelled up with a nasty itching rash 

What does it like to grow by? You know like Morels typically grow around dying Elm trees.

[vayotehowler]

So just an idea. dog hunt truffles and deer horns wonder if you could train want to smell out ginseng???

[markTNhunter]

JIM it doesn't grow around any certain tree mostly big timber with a lot of under growth old dead falls and old logging woods that still has some big timber standing are good places to look.
