March 13, 2022 at 3:51 am
❤️🌟 In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently and anomalies have appeared one after another,You must confess your sins and repent,I hope that those who have not yet trusted in Jesus and God can trust in Jesus and God as soon as possible,Confess your sins and repent as soon as possible.2000 years ago, light came to the world,Jesus Christ came to the world.The Word became flesh and appeared before people’s eyes.He was crucified for the sins of people.He was resurrected on the third day, and then He ascended to heaven and sat at the right hand of God. If you sincerely trust Jesus Christ and accept Him as the Savior of your life, you will receive the Holy Spirit.Then, you must obey the Holy Spirit, rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to act and behave, and be a person who pleases God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. —Galatians 5 : 22 – 23
Don’t delay, you should immediately trust Jesus Christ and God!

Are tomatoes poisonous?? Please someone tell me! English is not my first language!!!
Alethrial Sylviianel
March 13, 2022 at 3:11 pm
Ripe Tomatoes are not poisonous to eat. The leaves, stem, and green fruits are toxic to eat.They are part of the Nightshade family, which does have some poisonous members, and some non-poisonous members (Peppers, Eggplant, etc.). Potatoes are part of this family, and just like with tomatoes, you don’t want to eat unripe, sprouting, or green potatoes because they contain solanine, which is toxic. To sum up, Ripe tomatoes ☑️ Cooked potatoes ☑️ Any plant parts/uncooked potatoes ❌. Hope this helps! 🪴

Check out Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t he’s got hundreds and hundreds of amazing videos about plants in all kids of weird and wonderful environments. He’s just put up one about an endemic plant nursery, and he’s recently done a series of videos when he went to South Africa and he teaches about all kinds of crazy looking plants and the environments they live in.

_Paws_
March 16, 2022 at 6:56 pm
When he mentioned geology, some plants act like living metal detectors, they have become adept at growing and needing certain elements to properly survive. Some can live in a general condition but will be in a better condition if that chemical, or whatever, is in the substrate.
_Paws_
March 16, 2022 at 7:07 pm
The part when he mention needing flowers to identify, flowers are the genitals of plants and like genitals biologists tend to tell other living things apart by that comparison. It’s weird…

I’ve been watching his YouTube channel for about two years now and the way he rattles off scientific names and rants about human encroachment on natural habitats is fantastic. Also, the way he talks to and about plants is pleasantly naughty, hilarious and all around awesome.

18:57 Deadly nightshade isn’t in the genus Solanum but in the genus Atropa of the same family, Solanaceae. He’s right though, there are Solanum species that produce poisonous fruits, like the potato (Solanum tuberosum).

one thing with plant medicine is the fact that its often self prescribed and not many people talk to their doctor before using it. ive heard of patients almost dying because they are prescribed a medicine and never told their doctor about the plant medicine they take and they interact with very negative side effects

The shelf mushroom does not appear to be what is called the chicken of the woods which is an Orange tinged version of a shelf mushroom which pairs well with a white wine per my mushrooms and man class (what we learned to hunt for mushrooms in the woods and what to cook them with). The other most common shelf mushroom out there in the northeast again is again is turkey of the woods looks like the Chicken of the woods but is Brown in color. Works well it works well with red wine . Most classes are offered for free or for small fee by universities or clubs just look in your local area. Note do not randomly take a mushroom and consume it. It must be proven to be safe. Or you risk hours perhaps days in the hospital.

Some how I don’t think your follower’s question about symbiosis was imagining the broad definition, like humans as seed dispersal agents that maybe co-evolve with cannabis, I think they meant more like our obligate symbiosis with gut bacteria, or the normal skin flora we need as a protective barrier against more pathogenic microbes.

Technically symbiosis implies that neither organism can live without the other under natural condition. If both benefit, but are not dependent on each other, that’s mutualism.

I thought like, the best way to tell via observation if a plant is poisonous, other than getting your least-favourite friend to take a bite, was to see if animals would eat it? Or like, there was a specific TYPE of animals, that has a “will get poisoned” similar enough to humans, but I can’t remember which type that was.
