I have seen at least two kinds of dandelions in my yard. One of them has lighter green smooth leaves. This type has larger budded flowers with a thicker more rounded stem. These are the kind that some people eat if they like bitter vegetables.
The other kind I saw has a darker green leaf that is kind of fuzzy. The stems are skinnier and the flowers ball up much tighter at night. The flowers are also not usually as big. I have not seen any videos where people have eaten this kind yet so I am unsure if this particular species is also edible or not.
