Fruits of the Bog Bilberry in summer, Northern Bilberry, Vaccinium uliginosum
Berries of the dewberry may contain psychotropic substances, the identity of which has not yet been determined. After consumption of fruits, symptoms of intoxication - such as intoxicating excitement, vomiting, pupil dilation and dizziness - have occasionally been observed. Intoxications are possible only after consumption of large quantities. The parasitic tubular fungus Monilinia megalospora (formerly also Sclerotina megalospora) is probably responsible for this.
