Is there any danger in using these? Is it safe to just pick and eat anything that looks like a dandelion?

I certainly don't know of any poisonous plants that look like dandelion. But really it's best to know what you're eating. The easiest way to be sure a dandelion is a dandelion is to look at the flower stalk. Dandelions have perfectly smooth, round, hollow flower stalks that ooze white sap when you nick them. The flower grows at the very end of the stalk, and the stalks never branch. After you get to know dandelion, you'll be able to positively identify it before it blooms. But it's easiest to start with the flowers. Well, let’s see… chicory leaves can look a lot like dandelion leaves, and they can be eaten in the same way.
