Kia ora Fau,
ReplyDeleteThis is Susie from the Summer Learning Journey team. Well done on choosing White Baneberry and Hydnellum Peckii as your two plants to compare and contrast.
When I first saw these names, I thought they were quite unique names for a plant. Then I saw the pictures and I was even more surprised. To be completely honest, the visual aspects of Hydnellum Peckii gives me goosebumps. I would love to appreciate all sorts of plants but YIKES! Knowing that they produce blood on its surface gives me chills.
Did you know that Hydnellum Peckii is an inedible (though not toxic) fungus? This means you cannot eat this plant even though there is no poison in it. On the other hand, all parts of white baneberry are poisonous which means they should be avoided as well.
Would you like to see these plants in real-life? Why or why not?
Ka kite,
Susie
