Mayapple or dwarf ginseng?
Found a woods full of both these.
Also if you do buy these is it the root or what is the wanted part of the plants?

I will buy mayapple for 2.75 per lb. I think it is illegal to dig dwarf ginseng. I have only found a couple pieces in my life. The root of the mayapple is what I want and it must be nice and clean and the root must be dehydrated to the point that when you bend the root, it snaps into pieces.

Ok thanks Don! It may not be dwarf ginseng but the pictures I have of it sure looks like it and it is everywhere on this property.

mayapples have quite a few mrdicinal uses,
but Improper use of this plant could be very dangerous.....don't EVER try to use them yourself. The roots and rhizomes are used as a purgative. A resin from the plant, called padophyllin, has been used to treat venereal warts. The resin is extremely allergenic; it exhibits anti-tumor activity. Externally, mayapple is used as a treatment for warts and skin eruptions. Internally, a very small amount of root may be used as a cathartic (Laxative), a worm expellant, for jaundice, constipation, hepatitis, fever and syphilis.
again, DO NOT try to use this plant for home medicinal uses.......everything except the fruit is very poisonous.
pharmecuetical companies have methods to know what predetermined amounts are safe for human consumption.

don is 100% correct....dig those apples now..........in a few months they'll die back, making it tougher to find a good patch to dig.
you can dig quite a bit in a very short time..at least i can........use a round point shovel.........mayapples aren't very deep at all.
i actually dig it while resting on my knees.........mayapples are probly 3 inches or so under the ground.

Has anyone tried the fruit? I hear it is very good. How much could you get in a larg flat rate box?
don't worry over the smart ones. catch the dumb ones, they pay the same.
i can do it because i dont know that i cant.

Your plant looks like dwarf seng. Here is a good clear picture of dwarf seng.http://2bnthewild.com/plants/H278.htm Your last picture looks like cranesbill or wild geranium. I don't know what the 2 pictures above the bottom picture is and the 2nd picture from the top looks like a touch me not plant of some typ. on the link, just copy and paste it.
