Look at the bushes

The bushes are lush with small striped leaves and juicy-looking blue berries. Your stomach grumbles looking at them. You've expended a lot of energy today without a single bite to eat. Surely a taste wouldn't hurt...

You stand in a clearing in the swamp. In the middle of the area stands a large and strangely pristine stump. Next to the rightmost path is a much more scrawny-looking tree than the others you've seen in the verdant swamp. On the leftmost edge of the area is a copse of bushes laden with small blue berries.

A keening howl echoes through the swamp and a shiver runs down your spine. You feel very exposed.
