Small yellow flowers: Dire Orchids
Red berries #1: Wrastberries
Note: I can assure you that the yellow flowers are no orchid. They are in no way a member of family Orchidaceae. On the contrary I can tell you that this is a real plant and that it is a member of family Asteraceae. Although since there are over 30,000 species in that family. That probably won't help too much.
Also, I think I may have caused a misunderstanding about how much of what you have. When I say you gather 1 or that there is a certain number of an item in the communal inventory If it is possible to be eaten I don't mean that it is literally 1 items worth, rather that if it is food. Then that 1 unit is enough to feed a person for a turn. So part of the reason for the results you got was that you ate a large amount of a laxative. Most of the effects won't hurt you. Having less labor on the turn you ran the experiment, and next turn it will only decrease your labor by one so it only has a small effect. I thought about instant curing it with the item you have that you know can purge things. But, I decided not to because you did not mention keeping any on hand and I did not think at the time that the effects were that bad.
If I am allowed an OoC, GM, can we do a previosly researched tech without learning about it from the others. I want to start a farm with those seeds.
Also, why in the world are they named Dire Orchards? It's only the petals that seem dangerous. That name fits the Red Flowers more.
Because of telepathy, All completed research can be used by other players as long as it does not have a partial(or full) prerequisite in an ability or have a
an advanced degree of complexity. Although It would be nice if transmission of knowledge is role-played. I am not going to require it.
Edit:I can't figure out why some of my question marks are appearing as emojiis.
