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

That's the cure all fix everything plant of the mountains LOL !!

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 :laf:
What does it like to grow by? You know like Morels typically grow around dying Elm trees.
So just an idea. dog hunt truffles and deer horns wonder if you could train want to smell out ginseng???
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.

Ill try to get you some better pictures when it gets berries on.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
I looked online a little bit too. Do you typically pick it once the berry grows in the middle?
Yep the berries have a small seed inside and that's how the plant re- seeds its self birds and small animals eat the berries then pass the seeds and new plants grow,all you sale is the root I always scatter the seeds or plant them back in the ground.I don't dig it a whole lot Jim a lot of people around here make a living at it most of the time I luck up on it while in the woods hunting or scouting or some time in late summer early fall if I get bored an there's no hunting going on and the fish ant bitting and I'm off work ill go out look for it.

Jim, if you happen to run across a plant that looks like this one don’t be digging it up and bringing it home to put into a POT for your front yard.

jim that is great example of Virginia creeper and rhyming an example of cannabis sativa. I always think of ginseng as like a moose antler palmated.also kinda looks like a strawberry plant just not as dark green
:laf: Roger that
also ginseng is very shade tolerant , wont find it in direct sunlight
Oh surrrrrre, see Dave was holding back on that info :shrug:
shaded slopes and non sun facing slopes good places to look
