I figured you would probably know.
And you haven't lived until you're hiking & one of those things rakes your junk - the spines will penetrate carhart's for crying out loud!

Never seen one that close. The First Nation natives further north of here grow it for herbal medicine. I got up close and personal with poison ivy once and ended up with blisters all over the back of my legs.

But would you eat it?

We all have our quirks. Some wear an apron while they cook. Some still drink Shirley Temples when they're 36. One quirk I embrace: I'm a forager, and I embrace my inner hunter & gatherer. See the recipe.

It looks like a weaponized Mesozoic Brussels sprout.

Yep, as LG said, the native folk ingest it for a myriad of reasons.

Edit: Brussels sprouts are great. Slice in half, put in plastic bag with black pepper, salt and garlic diced fine, a bit of olive oil, shake it up well then place on cookie sheet, bake at 400 for about 15min(or to taste). wonderful

I haven't eaten brussel sprouts since I was a kid. My mom would just boil and serve them... same with cabbage.
