The poison Hemlock (of Socrates fame) looks similar to Queen Anne’s Lace so be careful.

PLEASE be very careful with ‘wild carrot’ or Queen Anne’s Lace. It resembles very closely Wild Parsnip and Water Hemlock which are both extremely poisonous. Even experts are frequently confused by them.

“Queen Anne’s Lace

Yur basic wild carrot”

Which looks very similar to Hemlock, a poisonous plant.
I’d avoid this one. (Not really much root to it and carrots are pretty cheap.)

Huh?

You eat the roots?

[birddog]

Yeah - I figured that out when I let a few over-wintered carrots flower and go to seed. Beautiful flowers.

I did hear that something similar looking is posionous... Can’t remember what it was....
