I have no idea what it looked like, but knew Ginseng had a legal harvest season.

It does now,but when I was growing up (wayyyy back then) you could hunt it any time.

Last year it had a sell price of $750 a dry pound,not a bad paycheck,IF you can find it easily.

I didn't answer because I happened to find this plant this past week-end. The berries were ripe and it was rather plentiful in the area. I had no idea what it was but took some pictures so I could look it up when I got home. You saved me the trouble. Great timing!!!
