RE: Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 01 Round 07: Wild Spring Grill Carnival - Elephant Garlic Spring Leeks with Wild Carrots and Dandelion Roots

Wild carrots and poison hemlock can grow right next to each other. But once you have a mental image, it's not hard to tell them apart. And the smell of their roots is so different! The poison hemlock smells like a rat cage that hasn't been cleaned out in awhile, lol. Not at all like a carrot.

That is good to know ... watch for the smell:)

Yes, a good sense of smell is a big help in foraging for so many plants and mushrooms! :D
