About the work

A closer look.

One page on one plant, berry, or mushroom you were about to eat, touch, or clear. You get three things: what it most likely is, the lookalike that sends people to a hospital, and the one feature that settles it. Every claim is tied to a named source, two or more independent records wherever I can find them. If the evidence is thin, I write 'unverified' instead of guessing. This is a written research page, not a safety verdict. I will not tell you something is safe to eat from a photo. That is the point, not the disclaimer. Send a photo, a location, and the season, and I will tell you what the read can carry and what it cannot. Delivery in 3 days, one revision included. If I cannot source a claim, you do not pay.
