Nitrogeneous nodules?

[Segilla]

When I pulled up a lesser celandine it had what looked like nodules on its roots, the same sort of things seen on pea and bean roots.
Different plant families, but are they the same types of nodules?

Hi segilla. You might get more answers if you also post this in the Home & Garden category.

That is not to say that you won't get a correct answer here though.

without looking it up, i would've said that Celandines are possibly from the buttercup family (rununculacea) and only members of the legume family have nitrogen fixing nodes (although there's probably a few others too).

i would guess that they were probably bulblets that you saw.
