Same goes for if it looks like a Tomato, those are nightshades and the only ones I know about that aren't deadly to eat are tomatoes and peppers, and the peppers only because the poison they developed doesn't kill you it just makes you feel like your entire digestive tract is on fire.

Potatoes, believe it or not, are also nightshades.

Actually I'm pretty sure those can poison you if you don't grab them at the right time

The berries of potatoes are poisonous, just the tubers aren't unless exposed to sunlight.

The tubers will give you a fever if eaten raw.
