Do You Recognize This Poisonous Plant?

[@HaphazardHomestead]

To me, the key in ID'ing Poison Ivy (or Poison Oak - Toxicodendron diversilobum - out here in the West US) in the winter, is to see how those tan, felt-covered terminal buds look like somebody is extending their middle finger, and the smaller branches point up, just like the back of somebody's raised hand. Those plants are flipping everybody off, giving them the bird, saying 'watch out'! It's so distinctive and diagnostic. It's easy for our vision and brains to notice that quickly, for some reason, lol. It's amazing how dense some patches of Toxicodendron can be! Happy foraging!

The problem with not being affected by Poison Ivy is that you are capable of spreading the oils to places that affect others without a clue

You need to add Virginia creeper to your common vines that grow up trees and some people might confuse with poison ivy; but the Virginia creeper does not cause a skin irritation. The attachment to the tree is different than PI's using little "sucker" pads on the "rootlets".

The buds gave them both away (granted I wasn't sure of the Ulmus species). The subterminal bud at the end of the stem is a telling feature of Elms (I was tipped off by the bark, but see how the "terminal" bud is slightly off kilter?), and those naked buds are a dead give away. I have a dichotomous key for identifying winter buds in my area, maybe there's one for yours as well. Thanks for the video. It should be stated that those who have no immune response to urushiol have a chance to develop the allergy with every exposure. I've seen it several times, people I've known to not respond who develop the allergy (quite dramatically, we were landscapers and they "knew" they were immune, lol). edit: I always thought of it as karma for all the times I got the rash because I worked with someone who didn't care because they were "immune" but used the same rake I did. IDK.

I ate a small piece if one without ill effects but would like more information from someone who would understand these things better than myself.

[@Ghost_Os]

I know you're asking Adam, but thought I would chime in in the meantime. Wild grapes are indeed edible, both the grapes themselves, as well as the leaves. Just make sure what you're looking at are indeed wild grapes, and not moonseed. Moonseed (poisonous) has a crescent shaped seed in the fruit, wild grapes do not. Wild grapes have forked tendrils on the vines, moonseed does not. I would recommend you familiarize yourself with both plants so you can determine the differences. Have a great evening ☺️

Great video as always Adam. Cannot wait for your online mushroom course! Already on the mailing list. Hopefully I can make a guided walk this year as well since I am located close. Not exactly on the same topic as poison ivy, but on the topic of another annoyance I was wondering if you could share your strategy for avoiding/preventing ticks whilst foraging. I try to get out as much as I can, and have been trying even more this winter (the more time you spend out the the more you learn right!). As I have been getting out more this winter than any before, I have been very surprised at the amount of ticks I have seen crawling on me even in the coldest of our winter months. I feel like the population has really grown since I was a kid. I don't remember seeing many ticks when I was younger, but then again maybe I'm just looking closer now. Anyway, I was just curious if you had any tips and tricks of avoiding ticks. Permethrin seems like a sure fire solution, but I'm not so sure breaking out chemical warfare while foraging is the best option.

When I was a kid I had a bad case of poison ivy, I still remember it. A couple years ago, I was picking up sticks in my yard and noticed vines like the the one you’re featuring here growing up a tree. I know vines will kill a tree, so I decided to pull them off, and yes, they were poison ivy vines. This is where I made my lunch and handled my food thoroughly and ate it. I didn’t realize it at the time what the vines were, I asked my brother if he knew, he said poison ivy. I thought, crap!!, I had that stuff all over my hands pulling vine after vine off the tree. So, washed up thoroughly and remembered I probably ate a lot of the oil that was on my hands. I found out later that I did. So, I waited for the itch to begin, but it never did. My mother wasn’t allergic to poison ivy, ever. She would pull it out by the roots ever she saw it. That was her “super power”. This time I found my “super power”, I’m not allergic now either. Even ingesting large amounts of didn’t bother me much. The only effect it had on me after eating it was an itchy butt hole for a couple days.

I used to spend much time in the woods. Not all poison ivy effected me. I'm not sure but I think it depends on how old the ivy is and time of summer as well as what the weather has been.
