And… can I use them to make a herbal tea? They smell nice.

    It can be wild carrots, can be hemlock.

    First thing to do is look at the stem. If it’s hairy you can try to identify it. If it’s glabrous (no hair) then it definitely is toxic.

      Cool observation about the hair! Thanks

      I will study more details about the wild carrot and hemlock and I’ll inspect the plant better next time I walk by.

      It’s not hemlock. You can see involucral bracts in the photo (the green forked leaflets underneath the fruit). Hemlock doesn’t have those. Be carefull if you think you found a hemlock - it can cause poisoning from skin contact alone, so it’s better to investigate it without touching it.

        Ah didn’t know about those, thanks !

        I edited my comment and changed “touch” for “look at”. You’re right, if it’s hemlock it’s better not to touch it.
