just got back from a 4 hour hunt ,found 2 pounds 2 ounces,,pinched just as many off and left them...strange woods thats for sure..lots of two and three prongers 6 to ten inch tall.the funny thing ,none ,not one single plant had a berry stem on them..i dug about 12 of the ten inch three prongers[had a fairly good stem meeting the ground]then stopped ,just wasn't much of a root on them ..started digging the 12 inch and taller,which there wasn't as many of those and they had harvestable roots.nice and muture..nice loose loamy ground..i just didn't know what to make of it...
