It's yellow mustard. The yellow that brings us spring, the golden rod ushers in the fall.

Goat weed.

As I said, it's yellow mustard. Goldenrod doesn't bloom until late summer. We have scads of it here and it will completely color a spring farm field that isn't plowed.

Mustard.

Dan, The consensus has been variable enough here that the takeaway from this thread is...think twice before you post a pic and ask "is this an edible mushroom", lol!

Woodcocks love goldenrod. It kills me to go through with allergies though. LOL

Ask Joe boy (Frisky) He tells us he is the Legend and I bet he knows maybe? LOL

Yup, mustard. Add a bit of leaves to a salad, but not too much. Good stuff.

Wild mustard for sure, a weed toxic to horses. Had to deal with about 8 acres of it (thick) before I could get my hay field planted.

Didn't pay nuttin' for them there fancy words. It is just that there are different species of wild mustard. To be honest, I still am not sure which one it is.

Last year I had something weird growing by my target. I cannot show the picture because my neighbor stole and smoked. He went for a walk around the block to clear his head and he got lost.

mustard of some type

Yellow mustard and Goldenrod all over around here. Esp. taking over ditchlines. My advice, contain it if you like it but I would rip it out ASAP. Invasive andhard to get rid of, soon spreading to neighbors etc.

Sure looks like a wild mustard. As George said, it's too early for goldenrod plus the blooms are different.

We get complete fields of it in May, especially grown over pastures. Dad always said that the mustard was the official sign of spring, and goldenrod the official sign of autumn. Each has it's own aura to me and brings back nice memories.

Yeah, well… One thing that all those mustards have in common is that they produce an awful lot of seed! I’m glad Dan posted this, because it prompted me to run outside and pull out as much of it as I could find before a gets ahead of me. I’ve got one variety in the yard which produces seedpods that explode when you bump them. Definitely pays to get rid of them as early as possible!
