Yes, yew berries can be toxic, but it's important to clarify that the fleshy part of the berry is not poisonous. The seeds inside the berry, however, contain compounds called alkaloids that are highly toxic and can be fatal if ingested. Consuming large quantities of yew seeds or plant parts can lead to serious health issues or death, so caution is advised. Always consult with an expert before consuming wild berries.
