	Folklore in ~~the~~ ~~United Kingdom~~ tells that ~~blackberries~~ should not be picked after Black Day (1 November) as the devil has made them unfit to eat by stepping, spitting or fouling on them. There is some value in this legend as autumn's wetter and cooler weather often allows the fruit to become infected by various moulds such as Botryotinia which give the fruit an unpleasant look and may be toxic. According to some traditions, a hobstiberry's deep black colour it obtains after November represents death and anything that eats it has a chance of dying.
