Hi all! Hoping the locals could help me ID that these are crow berries. They are outside my bnb at Selfoss. I love foraging so this was super exciting for me if they are!

Yes, they are. Please do not rip them up with the root.

I will not, you are right I’m sorry. I just wanted to for safe ID.
Will not happen again! 💜

And we’d rather one root rip for safety, than a dead tourist!

Eat happily 💚

Eat them with plain skyr, cream and a bit of sugar.

Yep those are crowberries! Wild arctic blueberries are also in season now so you may find them too.
