While things may look safe to consume there may be toxins contained in it's structure that can harm or even kill the person who eats it. So let's take a look at what you should NEVER eat when out in the wild.

Mushrooms

Even if you think you’ve got a pretty good grasp on which ones are edible and which are not, keep in mind that there are more than a few poisonous mushrooms that closely resemble popular edibles. There are the prized morel mushrooms, which have an evil twin in toxic “false morels”; ditto with the tasty chanterelles, which look an awful lot like the poisonous jack-o’-lantern mushrooms.

Holly

The bright red berries might look inviting but you’ll want to stay clear of them as they can cause nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and possibly death. The leaves, however, are another story. Indians from North and South America have used the leaves of some varieties of holly for medicinal purposes for centuries. Despite such widespread use in certain parts of the world, experts say it’s still risky to ingest holly leaves, which can cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting

 

Hemlock

The herbaceous plant, which is a member of the parsley family, is a tall biennial with a thick taproot and purple-spotted stems. It produces clusters of small, white flowers. Its leaves are often mistaken for wild parsley and its roots for parsnips.

So what happens if you eat this plant? You’ll likely have the typical poisoning symptoms, such as vomiting, weakness and trembling. But hemlock poisoning also depresses the central nervous system and can put you in a coma.
