Toot

@FeralFood : This looks like a wood-sorrel¹. There are a number of different species. If you eat the leaves/stalks they should have a sour lemon taste. They're good added to water and drinks, and also have small tubers² which I enjoy.

They shouldn't form the main part of your diet, though. Oxalis is named because it's high in oxalates, too much of which will make your kidneys sad.

² Or large tubers, in some species. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxalis_tuberosa
