Star Flowered Solomon's Seal

This is another common native plant in western Oregon, seen along trail clearings in the forest. Star Flowered Solomon's Seal (Maianthemum stellate) are in the Lily family and have a tiny flower, only 1/4 inch wide. This turns to a small fruit, seen in the photo below. The berries are edible but not tasty.
