Thistle (Fallout 76)

Thistle is a consumable item in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
Thistle is a prickly plant with iridescent pale green leaves that grows in Toxic Valley region of Appalachia. Similar to the giant pitcher plant and firecracker berry, the thistle plant is volatile. When trampled, they will start to rattle before exploding, creating toxic smoke and dealing 30 radiation damage in a medium radius. They cannot be gathered afterward.

The harvested flower can be consumed raw to satisfy a negligible amount of hunger with a medium dose of radiation and low chance for disease or can be cooked for additional benefits.

Blast zone
When affected by a blast zone, thistle will be mutated into irradiated thistle which will yield raw fluorescent flux when harvested.
