You can find it growing in woods edges and light woods in patches. The Mayapple grows around a foot tall, maybe a little taller. It puts out two leaves in umbrella-like fashion, and a waxy white flower blooms in the fork between the leaves. The flower ripens into a fruit that looks like a small lemon, and ripens from lime green into a lemon yellow. The plant is highly poisonous, but the fully ripe fruit is said to be edible, and I understand that it even smells like a lemon. It sounds to me like you’re talking about the Mayapple.
