Plant ID

Just been out collecting weeds and found these. They are about 4" high and look to be a ground covering plant. I didn't have my phone on me whilst out so couldn't take pictures of them in situ.

Thanks.

I don't know it but it's beautiful in weeds. First time see this.

If those "side buds" get longer, I say it's horsetail but if they stay short and close to the stem... no idea!

I agree with Pearly - Equisetum sp.

 

[Anyfoot]

Is it edible?

 

[Anyfoot]

Huh, typical. It's on the do not feed list.
Looks so yummy too.

Haha! Yes, it's on the "no" list, but very widely used in human medicine. Again, provided it's horsetail. Now, you said: groundcover?.... Horsetail grows upright... And I recall from Poland it used to like growing near marshes. May need to take those in situ pics afterall

Will do.

Hmmmm... I don't know. Does it taste bitter or sweet?
