Bloodroot is a plant collected and sold for its roots. This plant is poisonous if eaten. The root is harvested in early fall and dried. If the root is broken it will stain the hands red. This is where it gets its name, bloodroot. I have not harvested any my self but plan to this fall. Bloodroot sells for around 6 dollars a pound dried. Please positively id all plants and harvest only some of what you find. Leave the rest for seed.
