But they aren't. The company I just left sells a few thousand lbs of these each year - never had a problem. Just don't eat too many. You'll have gas and the poops if you do. You'll normally find these along river banks under cottonwoods, usually hiding in the blackberries. You may also find some large blond morels, too.

Bring some rubber gloves to pick stinging nettles, too. They taste a lot like spinach. Rubbed raw on joints with arthritis will irritate for a couple of hours but can give pain relief for 4-6 weeks. Drinking the nettle tea after cooking the plants can improve lung function for people with asthma. Pick them for eating until the tassels on top start to turn brown. The should be a blond color when harvested for food. They can be any color for relief of arthritis pain.

Found about a dozen yesterday.

Miner's lettuce, lemon balm, mustard flowers and greens, wild watercress, and wood sorrel are also primo right now. Make sure the watercress isn't hemlock (hemlock has serrated edges instead of smooth), and don't pick it near a pasture because of parasites. Makes a nice salad.

Those appear to be oysters. I can't be sure without verifying.
