Tussilago farfara

Poisonous plant: do not eat any part of it.

This is a game, not a field guide. Never eat a wild mushroom or plant because of it; if you are unsure, ask a mushroom advisor or a poison centre.

Did you know?

  • Its yellow flowers open on scaly stalks before the hoof-shaped leaves appear.
  • It spreads by creeping underground stems and often settles on bare ground, such as rubble or landslides.

Could you guess it from clues?

WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
