Hmm, this is a different plant from what I know as mayapple. What I know as mayapple is Podophyllum peltatum. What you've got there looks like what I'd call cow parsnip, Heracleum maximum. But that's the thing about everyday names; they vary from place to place.
Where I am, the water hemlock is in bloom. It does a heart good to know one has access to a deadly poison.
