What's that, you say? What's growing in my garden?

No green. I’m remiss. NO green anywhere.

Earthworms, which will then be harvested and sold as fish bait.

-“BB”-

Are earthworms tasty?

I would be tempted to suggest something like a rutabaga or turnip, which meets most of Beck’s criteria; however, these plants do have green leaves (edible ones, at that, even if people most often concentrate on the root vegetable).

If fried.

With vanishingly few exceptions, EVERYTHING is good fried.

Coral bells?

Keep trying.

Well, Mushroom was mentioned, but maybe not specific enough.
Puffball?

Peyote

We should ask my favorite poster

@discobot fortune

:crystal_ball: My reply is no

Be that way.

New clue: “It Lives!”

Roddy Piper?:sunglasses:

That’s funny.
I was going to link to an image from They Live, but it was kind of disturbing, and I thought better of it.

Is it

  1. animal ?
  2. vegetable ?
  3. mineral ?

If we are going to play 20 Questions, I think the most efficient question #1 would be, “is it a plant”? I assume it is, unless Beck is deliberately leading us astray, but it would be wise to confirm.

I’m tempted to guess “cabbage” but that has green leaves on it too.

It is not a plant.

new hint: it’s slimy

So maybe some kind of edible fungus that is not a mushroom - like wood ears? Not that wood ears are slimy. Jelly fungus is kinda slimy, though.

Although in the 20 Questions classification of plant/animal/mineral, I would consider fungi to be plants, even though their scientific classification is in other phyla.

Dahlias? Sweet potatoes? Some of them have red leaves.
