Here's a photo of this unknown root:

Any help in identifying it welcome!

Parsnip.

But it doesn't smell like a parsnip and the leaves don't grow like a
parsnip!

You should have said :-)

I did! You failed to notice the details in the message I sent a few
minutes earlier. It took me a bit longer to post the photo on my
website.

But neither did you look at the leaves and tendrils in the photo! ;-)

I blame my wife, my expert, who has confessed to not looking at the
tendrils and
leaves. Interesting that a US website recommends it for its medicinal
properties, probably one mollecule/million litres.

I was wondering what the excuse would be. ;-)
