DK, that fluff that flies isn't from the corndogs. That's from poplars.

cattails give off fluff o3o it flied around a lot here makes it look like snow. When I was little we'd wave the cattails around, forcefully releasing the fluff

you can use it as kindling or as a pillow stuffing apparently. o3o


moi: yea apparently, you cook and eat them like corn cobs oAo

the other parts are edible, and can be pickled .. the roots can be turned to flour or starch.

Ahhh. Never seen it travel that much, though I grew up out in the bush, and right next to a dugout full of them during the last part of my teenage years. Doesn't mean I wasn't wrong. LOL

The big question is WHY 8u
Why would you eat one?

They are full of fluff. The people I saw bite into them - the swamp corndog just exploded in fuff xD

Here's some gifs. Dunno if I can get away with hotlinking them but \8u/

those are after they've matured and ended their life cycle. you have to cook and eat them when younger like in spring/summer. Fall/Winter is when you harvest the roots for starch and flour ovo


it's all about timing. >:3

that and your suppose to cook them like corncobs before eating o3o, dunno if you can eat that part raw


want pillow fluff or fire tinder, wait for fall/winter to harvest.
want survival food harvest in spring/summer


o3o there's an aquatic plant that produces a potato like food too! o3o you can make chips and fries from it!

I see I'm going to have to grab a cattail sometime and play with it. Those explosions look disgusting but fascinating.
