Ruth and I went out again to collect more edible wild plants. I directed her to a known site for the Ostrich Fern Matteuccia struthiopteris, which she found and later added to our dinner. However, this being adjacent to a small wetland, there were unpleasant specimens to be found. Here is the corm of Cowbane Cicuta virosa, which looks harmless enough and even smells delicious of carrot, parsley & celery. However don't be tempted as it is the deadliest plant in the Nordic flora. Even a tiny fragment, if ingested, will cause a violent and unpleasant death.
