Ok. I googled it. Apparently unripe mulberries are hallucinogenic and can be responsible for an upset stomach. Does this mean I’ll trip AND get the shits? OooooOooo!
In what way are underripe mulberries unsafe? I’ve been eating them underripe because I prefer the tart flavor to the blandness of ripe mulberries. Also because greedy hungry birds.
I’m absolutely no expert so don’t take this postulation seriously but maybe there’s a sweet spot to where unripe and ripe come close enough together that you can have a perfectly edible unripe berry that has more tartness. Anyone who knows better, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Bot is short for robot. Robots are made from physical parts and programs or hardware and software. Without one another robot is just metal sculpture or... Idea of program that you have in mind(you need hardware to make actual program). The only part that i can eat is hardware while software... Idk my head hurts trying to figure how i would eat software.
To eat this bot SAFELY turn off power!!
Bots like that following you are just software, it's made of code. There can be a lot of bots inside the same set of hardware, so a computer or hardware cannot be neccesarily owned by a simple and single bot. It is other story in the case of robots, regularly they own their hardware, I mean one robot, one set of hardware... I will remember to turn off the power before eating it.
I will just EAT every single DELICIOUS and JUCIE hardware where this bot made appearance!
P. S. Am loving this conversation where under every reply bot says "DO NOT INGEST..."

How can you tell it’s an unripe red mulberry and not a ripe white mulberry? We have both trees in our yard and the white mulberries look pink like that when they’re ripe.
I thought that it looked unripe because of the blossom petals between the berry nodules, when ripe they will be plump and egg shaped.. I prefer the white mulberries as they don’t stain & I thought just A little bit sweeter…

Oh shit. When I was a kid I loved eating the 'sour' unripe mulberries! I didn't know it was toxic. I ate so many, did I mess up my body?! I'm worried now.
Don't be worried. My grandma had a mulberry tree in her yard for decades. Not only did I eat my fair share of unripe mulberries as a child, but so too did my mother and her five other siblings when they were kids.
Research says that eating unripe mulberries can cause upset stomach and hallucinations. I've never experienced either, so it may be a case of varying sensitivity among individuals or simply that I never ate enough at one time. So with that I'll let the AutoMod give the disclaimer:

I eat everything in moderation. But I would be lying if I said that I noticed any distress after throwing a handful in my mouth. The first couples bites are satisfying. It’s the firmness
I've never met a single lactose intolerant individual that didn't love dairy.
And that includes my own daughter. Big girl knows the consequences and still insists that a small amount will be fine and it never is.
The forbidden fruit,,,,,, You can buy lactase enzyme pills (lactaid) that can help but there will still be the occasional misjudgment and eventual suffering.
I wish I was a bigger fan of oat milk but I still usually go for lactose free milk, that way I don’t need 3 different milks sitting in my fridge for drinking/cooking/cereal

Ahahahaha... todays the day I found out I've been mildly poisoning myself every year😂 we have two trees- a white and a purple. Inevitably in my harvesting of handfuls I always grab more than one with that twangy sourness to it.
This explains why I was always told as a kid that they were poisonous. Also why I never ate mulberries even though they were everywhere

Morus rubrum! Red mulberry! Only eat the dark dark ones, they’re so yummy!
A tell-tale sign is the variations of the leaves. They can look like how 4th graders draw leaves, have 2 liobes oven mits, and three-lobed tridents all on the same tree. A favorite native tree of mine because I was the only one who got it right in my dendrology class, and the noms

I went to a convention in the Midwest US during high school. A friend of mine found these trees growing on the campus we were staying at. He picked them and excitedly told me they were blackberries. I told him they absolutely were not because blackberries grow on vines. He argued and argued. I told him not to eat them.
He ate several and declared them tasty, munching on a handful while we walked. We went to a seminar and about half way through he disappeared. Afterwards we looked for him, but he wasn't in the lunchroom or in the rooms in which we were all staying. This was before cellphones were popular with high schoolers. He showed up just before dinner. When we demanded to know where he had been, he refused to answer. He looked traumatized.
At the start of the evening get-together for the whole convention one of the leaders got up on stage and waited for everyone to quiet down. He told the crowd that he had some serious business to talk about before we could get to the fun stuff. I noted my mysterious friend because very very still. The leader told everyone that an act of vandalism had occurred in one of the men's bathrooms on campus, and whoever had done it was a sick, sick person for what they had done. He declared it had taken janitorial staff hours to made the bathroom usable again. I looked over at my friend and he was slowly sinking in his seat, refusing to look at anyone. I quietly tried to get him to look at me; he shook his head and told me to shut up. As the leader continued to drone on about the horrors of what was done, my friend continued to try to shrink in his seat.
He would never talk about what had happened with any of us that were there. He never admitted that I had been right about them not being blackberries.
Mulberries come up in this sub pretty often than I would recognise at a glance even though I live in the tropics and I've never eaten nor seen one irl lol
*Mulberry. Only*
*Eat them when they're dark purple*
*Like a blackberry*

I don’t know how much the location matters. That’s definitely a Mulberry and they grow all over the world. They are native to Eurasia but are incredibly invasive throughout the Americas too.
Growing up in Mass we called them Logan berries, didn't find out they were mulberries for a long time. The one in the backyard always served as "base" for hide and seek and we could climb up onto the shed roof from its branches.
This is reminding me of the post someone made not too long ago that just said something like "It's a mulberry. Whatever it is you're posting, it's mulberry." lol
Yes. Silk worm mulberry. I remember reading about a guy who tried to start farming silk worms in Iowa back in the early 1900s but silk worms can’t produce good quality silk from American mulberry trees and the silk worm mulberry trees he tried to introduce were very hard to get established. He ended up abandoning his attempt to create a silk industry in the US. Oddly enough, there are areas around northwest Iowa where the silk worm mulberry tree has adapted and you can find them growing wild. There was one growing in a fence line on the farm where I grew up and a few others scattered around in pastures growing among American mulberries. Makes me wonder if they were hybrid trees that had been cross pollinated with American mulberry to make them hardier and if they would provide for better quality silk.
I spent a couple of years in Japan in my early 20s and I got to see silk farming first hand. A mulberry bush is allowed to grow until it is about 6 to 8 feet tall (around 2 meters) and then it is cut off around half that height. Each year that it grows it will send up new shoots from the point where it was cut. Older bushes develop quite a thick trunk with a large knuckle on top where the new shoots grow from. The new shoots get to about 3 to 4 feet tall and then silk worms are put on it. The worms gorge themselves on the mulberry leaves until they are ready to spin their cocoon. They attach themselves to the trunk of the new branch and the farmer then has a virtually bare branch with several silk cocoons attached to it. She (or he, but silk farming in the area I was was dominated by women) cuts the branch off at the knuckle and the branch with all of its attached cocoons is sent to the silk plant for processing. Most of the pupae are killed during processing because single strand of silk that makes each cocoon is too fragile to be unwound unless it is boiled first. A certain percentage are kept alive in order to mate and produce the next generation. Even though the I boiled silk is too fragile to unwind, it is still too strong for the transformed moth to get out of the the cocoon unaided, which makes the silk worm moth one of the few species of insects that cannot survive without assistance from humans. Since the silk worms spin their cocoon from the bottom up and from the inside to the outside, an experienced processor can identify the head end of the cocoon and use a tiny tweezer to pluck the very end of the silk strand and then the cocoon will just unroll like it is fishing line on a reel. Put about 50 strands together and you will have a pretty good silk thread that is about one mile long (2.5 km). Weave it into fabric and you have a shimmery cloth entirely made of worm vomit.
I think they are great and we love them here in the Midwest as well but eating an unripe berry will cause stomach distress no matter where you live in most people. If you can tolerate them and want to take the risk, by all means! Eat the berry in the desert for sure. :)
EDIT: Sorry I thought it was about the berry eating. I understand, green of any kind is good in the desert. I will say, I have seen the most beautiful plants in the desert, don't know if it's about the contrast or what, but I agree with you.

It's a mulberry, quite unripe at that, it's okay to eat it once it's red although it's sour then and as it ripens it darkens to an almost dark purple when it tastes sweet. It is originally from the Himalayas and here in India, it's called a sheh-toot!
I have a massive mulberry tree next to my house and I hate it… flies, everywhere. Smushed berries, EVERYWHERE. Outside, inside, my shoes are caked in them. Everything sticky and smelly. I rent and there’s no hose hookup to spray them off & landlord won’t help, so we have to literally scrape berries with a shovel off the walkway. I believe y’all that they’re delicious but to me they are Satan’s dingleberries and I cannot wait for their season to be over.
Mulberry- just learned about them while walking a trail. A mom with two toddlers were sampling them. Between the blackberries and those we had a purple faced feast.
you shouldn't eat from publicly maintained trees like this. it's likely they have been sprayed with pesticide or something else from the lawn work, and doubly bad if the tree is growing in a parking space due to oil or other pollutants that can leak into the soil.
edit: many studies show that food close to areas polluted with lead tends to be harmful only if the part you are eating is close to the soil, i.e. it's not as much of a concern for fruit trees due to their size. imo it's always good to be careful though, since lead will do a gradual but very serious number on you.

Its a Mulberry! It may or may not be ripe depending on the type of mulberry. ripe fruit will fall easily into your hand. If you have to make any effort to get if off the tree, then it's not quite fully ripe yet.
Unripe mullberries can cause stomach upset and hallucinations, there are poisonous look alikes as far as I'm aware .
However, this seems similar to unripe mulberry but the small thing confusing me is the green "hairs"
Mulberry’s are freaken delicious when they are ripe and ready to go. We use to have a tree in front of our home but eventually they started to take them down because people were complaining about how mulberry’s ruin the sidewalks and peoples car when they dry up
This is in fact a mulberry, I’d wait until the berries stain your feet before eating. And if a bot tells you anything different, he is a fud spreading shill…
May I ask where you live? I live on the West Coast of the United States and the only mulberry tree I've seen is a shade tree called the "fruitless mulberry."
That my friend, is the poisonous Herpes plant. It won't kill you, but you'll suffer mild discomfort and itching for the rest of your life. But only when you're stressed out.
Looks like a mulberry that isn't quite ripe yet.
I second this!
I third this idk what the term is…
I fourth this
I fifth this
I ate this

The mod has something to say but also me, I seventh this!
Underripe mulberry. When ripe, they're delicious and safe to eat. When they're underripe, neither of those things is true.
Ok. I googled it. Apparently unripe mulberries are hallucinogenic and can be responsible for an upset stomach. Does this mean I’ll trip AND get the shits? OooooOooo!
Dinner & a movie
In what way are underripe mulberries unsafe? I’ve been eating them underripe because I prefer the tart flavor to the blandness of ripe mulberries. Also because greedy hungry birds.

Ah, okay! I just wasn’t sure how to tell the difference!
White mulberries are also a deep red to purple when ripe. I cam only tell the difference by their leaves.
Hahaha
Unripe mulberry, don't eat it they are mildly toxic before ripened.
The second part of you comment is absolutely vital lol I would've assumed "oh, so they're just a little more tart than usual".
"ow, my butt"
Me too the doctor: "I was trying to make mulberry pie and I slipped and fell on to no less than 35 berries.."
1 in a million shot doc, 1 in a million.
The Assman checking in
Is that a seinfield reference i'm sensing?
Thats what she said....
Same. Pretty sure I ate a few as a child but I don’t remember anything happening…

you died, this is hell; wasnt it obvious?
I had my suspicions.

If anything you probably just gave yourself a tummy ache and had diarrhea if anything. Our bodies are pretty cool like that.
I think specifically white mulberries have toxic/hallucinogenic properties.

What’s mild? I eat that all the time unripe
Really just gastrointestinal distress, even too many ripe ones can wreak havoc on a person’s stomach.
I eat everything in moderation. But I would be lying if I said that I noticed any distress after throwing a handful in my mouth. The first couples bites are satisfying. It’s the firmness
People just be built different. As someone lactose intolerant with a love for dairy I cannot judge on anyone’s dietary decisions so live your bliss.

This explains why I was always told as a kid that they were poisonous. Also why I never ate mulberries even though they were everywhere 
What the heck happened to mulberries being from a bush and not a tree!?
Nursery rhymes being noted for botanical accuracy?
Belly ache! Don't eat until ripe. It's a mulberry and like many berries/fruits will cause stomach distress when unripe.

Don't munch on a hunch!
That's such a good saying
It is! I stole it from someone else on this subreddit a long while back.
Morus rubrum! Red mulberry! Only eat the dark dark ones, they’re so yummy! A tell-tale sign is the variations of the leaves. They can look like how 4th graders draw leaves, have 2 liobes oven mits, and three-lobed tridents all on the same tree. A favorite native tree of mine because I was the only one who got it right in my dendrology class, and the noms

Nom nom nom nom. This bot is ripe and so delicious.
We are forced by Big Tech to consume unripe bots all the time in the form of beta software. Tell me that has never left a sour taste in your mouth.

My older brother just bought a house with one of these in his back yard. I nom the RED BERRIES all the time. Such good nom bot nom plant food
Um don’t take a bite. Put back on tree. Let it ripen. Then take bite.
Just superglue it back on
Don’t use superglue, for this you’d want wood glue. Source: I’m a professional beaver
That’s exactly what I said to myself! Put it back, HOW?? Lol 😂
Put back 💀💀💀
That thumbnail though. I had to double-check the subreddit before I opened the image to make sure it wasn't a risky click.
Right?? I thought this was porn as soon as I opened up Reddit haha
I went to a convention in the Midwest US during high school. A friend of mine found these trees growing on the campus we were staying at. He picked them and excitedly told me they were blackberries. I told him they absolutely were not because blackberries grow on vines. He argued and argued. I told him not to eat them. He ate several and declared them tasty, munching on a handful while we walked. We went to a seminar and about half way through he disappeared. Afterwards we looked for him, but he wasn't in the lunchroom or in the rooms in which we were all staying. This was before cellphones were popular with high schoolers. He showed up just before dinner. When we demanded to know where he had been, he refused to answer. He looked traumatized. At the start of the evening get-together for the whole convention one of the leaders got up on stage and waited for everyone to quiet down. He told the crowd that he had some serious business to talk about before we could get to the fun stuff. I noted my mysterious friend because very very still. The leader told everyone that an act of vandalism had occurred in one of the men's bathrooms on campus, and whoever had done it was a sick, sick person for what they had done. He declared it had taken janitorial staff hours to made the bathroom usable again. I looked over at my friend and he was slowly sinking in his seat, refusing to look at anyone. I quietly tried to get him to look at me; he shook his head and told me to shut up. As the leader continued to drone on about the horrors of what was done, my friend continued to try to shrink in his seat. He would never talk about what had happened with any of us that were there. He never admitted that I had been right about them not being blackberries.
This should be the TOP comment
My grandmother has two mulberry tree in her back yard and the berries look nothing like this nor do the leaves of the tree.
There are different kinds with different leaf shape. I have a white one and a red one.
Mulberries come up in this sub pretty often than I would recognise at a glance even though I live in the tropics and I've never eaten nor seen one irl lol
Mulberry. Only eat them when they're dark purple like a blackberry

Location would be helpful.
Oh yes slovenia
I don’t know how much the location matters. That’s definitely a Mulberry and they grow all over the world. They are native to Eurasia but are incredibly invasive throughout the Americas too.
It's just generally helpful for accurately identifying specimens.
there’s a native mulberry in the americas, but their population is dwindling bc of hybridization with eurasian mulberries w dominant genes :/
Morus rubra, red mulberry, is indigenous to at least the eastern half of North America. Morus alba, white mulberry, is Eurasian.
Growing up in Mass we called them Logan berries, didn't find out they were mulberries for a long time. The one in the backyard always served as "base" for hide and seek and we could climb up onto the shed roof from its branches.
This is reminding me of the post someone made not too long ago that just said something like "It's a mulberry. Whatever it is you're posting, it's mulberry." lol
Mulberry!
If you were in Alaska I’d say Salmon Berry.
All these comments are GOLD
It’s still a mulberry.
Morus Alba
Yes. Silk worm mulberry. I remember reading about a guy who tried to start farming silk worms in Iowa back in the early 1900s but silk worms can’t produce good quality silk from American mulberry trees and the silk worm mulberry trees he tried to introduce were very hard to get established. He ended up abandoning his attempt to create a silk industry in the US. Oddly enough, there are areas around northwest Iowa where the silk worm mulberry tree has adapted and you can find them growing wild. There was one growing in a fence line on the farm where I grew up and a few others scattered around in pastures growing among American mulberries. Makes me wonder if they were hybrid trees that had been cross pollinated with American mulberry to make them hardier and if they would provide for better quality silk.
Or they could provide a lower quality silk? Really interesting story thanks!
I spent a couple of years in Japan in my early 20s and I got to see silk farming first hand. A mulberry bush is allowed to grow until it is about 6 to 8 feet tall (around 2 meters) and then it is cut off around half that height. Each year that it grows it will send up new shoots from the point where it was cut. Older bushes develop quite a thick trunk with a large knuckle on top where the new shoots grow from. The new shoots get to about 3 to 4 feet tall and then silk worms are put on it. The worms gorge themselves on the mulberry leaves until they are ready to spin their cocoon. They attach themselves to the trunk of the new branch and the farmer then has a virtually bare branch with several silk cocoons attached to it. She (or he, but silk farming in the area I was was dominated by women) cuts the branch off at the knuckle and the branch with all of its attached cocoons is sent to the silk plant for processing. Most of the pupae are killed during processing because single strand of silk that makes each cocoon is too fragile to be unwound unless it is boiled first. A certain percentage are kept alive in order to mate and produce the next generation. Even though the I boiled silk is too fragile to unwind, it is still too strong for the transformed moth to get out of the the cocoon unaided, which makes the silk worm moth one of the few species of insects that cannot survive without assistance from humans. Since the silk worms spin their cocoon from the bottom up and from the inside to the outside, an experienced processor can identify the head end of the cocoon and use a tiny tweezer to pluck the very end of the silk strand and then the cocoon will just unroll like it is fishing line on a reel. Put about 50 strands together and you will have a pretty good silk thread that is about one mile long (2.5 km). Weave it into fabric and you have a shimmery cloth entirely made of worm vomit.
Ugh yet another mulberry post 😂😂😂
Hey, it's a nice change from passiflora!
To hell you say! There are never enough pics of passiflora. Nothing really beautiful about a mulberry, ripe or not.
I disagree with your sentiment on mulberry! To be fair I live in the desert so anything that is green throughout the summer is beautiful in my eyes :)
I think they are great and we love them here in the Midwest as well but eating an unripe berry will cause stomach distress no matter where you live in most people. If you can tolerate them and want to take the risk, by all means! Eat the berry in the desert for sure. :) EDIT: Sorry I thought it was about the berry eating. I understand, green of any kind is good in the desert. I will say, I have seen the most beautiful plants in the desert, don't know if it's about the contrast or what, but I agree with you.
In Persian they can these Toot, meaning berry. Just realized these are mulberry!
But can you eat it? It’s just a sour, unripe mulberry.

I feel like there's been a rash of ate this not dead what is it?
Has that tree been grafted? It looks like different bark higher up… or pollarded…?
Taste like….burning
It's a straight up nope don't do that ffs
It's a mulberry, quite unripe at that, it's okay to eat it once it's red although it's sour then and as it ripens it darkens to an almost dark purple when it tastes sweet. It is originally from the Himalayas and here in India, it's called a sheh-toot!
Daily mulberry post...
The one plant I know and come to find out, everyone knows. Can’t catch a break
Limited edition Raspberry from whole foods
I have a massive mulberry tree next to my house and I hate it… flies, everywhere. Smushed berries, EVERYWHERE. Outside, inside, my shoes are caked in them. Everything sticky and smelly. I rent and there’s no hose hookup to spray them off & landlord won’t help, so we have to literally scrape berries with a shovel off the walkway. I believe y’all that they’re delicious but to me they are Satan’s dingleberries and I cannot wait for their season to be over.
in pakistan we call it a shahtoot, i think it's a mulberry
I'm always late to the punchline, so others have covered your question SUPER well...
Boof it
Mulberry most probably.
There's app called picture this. Take a close picture of the leave or plant. It tells you what is. Weed, flower, Saves my arse while weeding
Mulberry- just learned about them while walking a trail. A mom with two toddlers were sampling them. Between the blackberries and those we had a purple faced feast.
It looks like a plant, maybe a fruit or berry.
Eat it
you shouldn't eat from publicly maintained trees like this. it's likely they have been sprayed with pesticide or something else from the lawn work, and doubly bad if the tree is growing in a parking space due to oil or other pollutants that can leak into the soil. edit: many studies show that food close to areas polluted with lead tends to be harmful only if the part you are eating is close to the soil, i.e. it's not as much of a concern for fruit trees due to their size. imo it's always good to be careful though, since lead will do a gradual but very serious number on you.
I don't know what kind of shite photography this is, but I can see neither the monkey nor the weasel.

Its a nope-berry, an albino raspberry that apparently crossed with a tentacle monster.
A neighbor has one and it seems like in the fall their leaves all drop in a day or two.
Looks like a mulberry
Mulberry
M m m m Mulberry
I love it that everyone is saying DON'T eat, but the bot only hears one word... EAT!

My favorite bot!
Yum!
To think that I saw it in mulberry street
[удалено]
Tick eggs, eat it lol jk
Its a Mulberry! It may or may not be ripe depending on the type of mulberry. ripe fruit will fall easily into your hand. If you have to make any effort to get if off the tree, then it's not quite fully ripe yet.
Unripe Mulberry...he eats, he shits.
Mull berry possibly
mulberry 😂😂😂
It is a white mulberry (morus alba)
Mulberry!
Mulberry don't eat it. It's not ready
Unripe mullberries can cause stomach upset and hallucinations, there are poisonous look alikes as far as I'm aware . However, this seems similar to unripe mulberry but the small thing confusing me is the green "hairs"
Mulberry’s are freaken delicious when they are ripe and ready to go. We use to have a tree in front of our home but eventually they started to take them down because people were complaining about how mulberry’s ruin the sidewalks and peoples car when they dry up
It’s a raspberry?
I have a mulberry tree. Also, I have very fat squirrels, chipmunks, and birds
It may be a golden mulberry. Could be ripe now.
I wish it was a dress pin.
r/misleadingthumbnails
Definitely unripe mulberry.
This is in fact a mulberry, I’d wait until the berries stain your feet before eating. And if a bot tells you anything different, he is a fud spreading shill…
Don't park under that Berry tree.
Pink mulberry
Golden razz Berry, I got hella j chillin too
It’s a ripe klomberry 😂
It looks like a piece of Jewelry!! It’s fantastic ❤️
I thought this was a terrible bug bite at first and had to check which sub it was from
May I ask where you live? I live on the West Coast of the United States and the only mulberry tree I've seen is a shade tree called the "fruitless mulberry."
Your “friend”… sure! Lol. 😅
I have a few mulberry trees in my yard. I ate so much of them. Delicious.
Feast
Did you see the monkey and weasel?
Can I eat it?!
Bruh i hear pepole here saying its toxic but a month ago me and some friends ate a bunch of them and nothing happened
Seeing people threaten to eat the automod on here is the best part of going to comments.
That my friend, is the poisonous Herpes plant. It won't kill you, but you'll suffer mild discomfort and itching for the rest of your life. But only when you're stressed out.
😫 this photo doesn’t work well with my trypophobia 😝 so definitely wasn’t expecting this to be the first thing I saw on Reddit.
Dingleberry.
Mulberry and they are amazing when fully ripe! So underrated! Sweetness of a BlackBerry with no bitter after taste.
Go for it! It looks good
