Mistletoe berry

The berries of the mistletoe are small, white, and waxy. They are used as an ingredient in potions, including the Antidote to Common Poisons.

Behind the scenes

 * The use of mistletoe berries as an ingredient in the Antidote to Common Poisons is ironic: the non-berry parts of the mistletoe plant are extremely poisonous, causing intense stomach pain, diarrhea, low pulse, visual disturbances, and convulsions if eaten. However, the berries are considered "relatively non-toxic" if only a small amount are ingested, but can cause stomach upset when eaten in larger quantities.
