Red Baneberry
"All parts of the plant are poisonous. However, accidental poisoning is not likely since the berries are extremely bitter. The berries are the most toxic part of the plant. A healthy adult will experience poisoning from as few as six berries. Ingestion of the berries causes nausea, dizziness, increased pulse and severe gastrointestinal discomfort. The toxins can also have an immediate sedative effect on the cardiac muscle tissue possibly leading to cardiac arrest if introduced into the bloodstream. As few as two berries may be fatal to a child. All parts of the plant contain an irritant oil that is most concentrated within the roots and berries." From Wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actaea_rubra
The berries of this plant start off green, then change to either red or white. The flower cluster is white and beautiful.
Yesterday, 3 August 2019, a small group of us were lucky enough to visit two neighbouring acreages west of the city. In fact, along the road that I tend to drive along each time I drive out west. Friend, Dorothy, knows the owners of the first property we went to and had arranged for us to come and do a bioblitz on their 9.1 acres of mostly forested land. Nancy and Bill Cook have a beautiful, forested acreage and we were led along several different trails. Accompanying us was their big, black dog who was very sweet and determined to try and keep up with us, despite arthritic joints, which needed a few very brief rests. They were such welcoming and kind people and it was such a pleasure to help them learn a little more about what was growing and living around them. A juvenile Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was a surprise, and there was even an occasional fungus, including a rather fine coral fungus. We were also treated to coffee, iced tea and chocolate brownies. Thank you!
Part way through the day, we walked from their home to the neighbours, Dean & Charmaine Carton, who also knew we were coming. Their beautiful garden and 15 acres of land gave us a few lovely sightings, including a few bird species and, discovered growing on the ground inside a fire pit, a nice example of Marchantia liverwort, complete with fruiting body.
Our few hours out were greatly appreciated and enjoyed by everyone. I always think these outings are a win/win situation, with landowners gaining new knowledge plus a very detailed list of all the species found, and the rest of us always meet such lovely people and have a very enjoyable time.
Thanks so much, Nancy and Bill and your neighbours, for this experience. Thanks, as always, Dorothy and Stephen, for the ride there and back.
