Yellow Wood Anenome

[Karpatsky Forest]

Hi All,
The forest next door to me is covered in wild garlic, hollowroot and yellow wood anenome...absolutely gorgeous. My question is about the anenome and whether it's good eating. I have looked online but I just keep getting info the 'Wood Anenome' (white in colour) as opposed to my yellow variety.

Any thoughts?

Could be yellow anemone Anemone ranunculoides. I would have thought it would contain toxin ranunculin as with other anemone species.

It seems you are correct. It can be used medicinally but is also toxic to both animals and humans. Thanks

Are you sure it's an anemone ? I'm asking because my bright yellow lesser celandines are in bloom and they're beautiful
And, you can eat their peanut shaped roots too
