Equisetum pratense, also known as meadow horsetail, is a type of fern found in forests with tall trees or thick foliage. It is commonly found near streams, ponds, and rivers and is characterized by its whitish-green and slender stems with ridges and spinules. This plant is a pioneer species, meaning it grows in areas with unstable or eroded ground. It is widespread, found in Europe, Asia, and North America. However, it can be toxic due to the presence of an enzyme that destroys vitamin B1.
