Death camas (Toxicoscordion micranthum) is a poisonous plant to be aware of; it grows in gravelly or grassy areas in full sun or partial shade. There are 3 Toxicoscordion species found in my part of SW Oregon; this one is the one generally found on serpentine, and also the only species I’ve come across yet.

Death camas is POISONOUS and often grows mixed in with other plants that have edible bulbs, like Allium, Dichelostemma, Triteleia, Calochortus, and Fritillaria. TAKE GREAT CARE and spend time learning the plants well before you dig and eat bulbs in southwest Oregon.
