Chat, I ate this for lunch, am I good?
>>21609755you should make a wellington
>>21609755Next time boof it
>>21609759Is this enough for a wellington?
>>21609755>trusting "chat" for fucking anythinglol
>>21609755yeah bro, lick your finger right now too. Is super tasty
op out here eats all the dick shaped foods
>>21609763That's enough to send you to the moon, sir. Those look like psylocibe cubensis
>>21609774stfu retarded idiotThe shroom Op have in hand is the most deadly in the world even a little piece would kill you 100 times over.He should wash his hand with bleach in this instant and if he placed it with other shroom he should trow all away
>>21609755Find the puff penis full of dust spores.
>>21609777If that is an amanita he's holding with bare hands he's in trouble even if he washes them well.
>>21609781It is
>>21609783Amanita phalloides, to be precise
>>21609755Op is dead or need a kidney liver transplantGG
All mushrooms are edible - some only once.
>>21609786My grandfather who was a very active mushroom forager did something similar when I was a kid and almost died. He thought he washed his hands plenty well enough. So I recommend thoroughness. Just advice from one mushroom hunter to another
>>21609755>Am I good?Bit of a philosophical question there
>>21609777and the follow-up pic >>21609763 is also deadlybtw can we call just acknowledge this is literally every single mushroom thread on /ck/
>>21609763People always say that European forests are relatively safe but what happens if I trip up with my mouth wide open and land in a big patch of these killers? It would be curtains for little old me.
>>21609804>this is literally every single mushroom thread on /ck//an/ too
>>21609821indeed.https://youtu.be/o5EVC3rgJ-o?si=v38rwxNW4MPAVRKC
>>21609804I used to post mushrooms I forage quite a bit, but on this board about cooking and food most people don't care. These are elm oysters, possibly my favorite mushroom.
>>21609842Chicken of the woods, a truly amazing mushroom.
>>21609845Shaggy mane ink caps. Pretty good if you get them early.
>>21609847Puffballs. Honestly barely worth the effort of collecting and cooking.
>>21609850This stinkhorn isn't edible but does have the wonderful name of phallus ribicundus.
>>21609763The velum, look for the velum!
>>21609820Do you often "trip up" and end up with phallic objects in your mouth?
>>21609842>elm oystersWhat makes them so good?
>>21609892They have a very nice flavor, similar to that of other oyster mushrooms. They're also big and meaty, in good years with lots of rain can be very abundant and sometimes as big as a dinner plate in size.
usually in new england the puffballs appear first couple weeks of september, but things seem to be delayed due to the weather this year. found this one and it looked awesome but was all yellowed out on the side so i tossed ityou have like one week max to pick these thingsi picked one that looked way worse from the outside and it was ivory white inside so i figured this one, which looked perfect on the outside, would be good but it wasn't. tossed it. i was like a day short i guess fuck
>>21609916yellowed in the center* not the sidei don't know if this really matters but my mother used to tell me not to eat them if there is any yellow in the centerand this makes sense because that yellow discoloring is a sign of moisture/rot or something and even on a grill it these sometimes have the texture of cottage cheese anyway
i'd love to go foraging for mushrooms one day because i love wandering around in the forest but its pretty scary. pic related is edible and is near identical to a death caphowever it grows in asia though
>>21609928Not him but she's right. It's less of a pain with the big ones, but the small ones like this >>21609850 it means cutting every one in half to check because if it's started ripening it will fuck you up. Also, they just taste like mushy dirt to me.
>>21609953yupi cut a small one open that looked waaay worse on the outside and it was pure ivory white perfectso i assumed the one that looked better on the outside (the one in the pic) and it was yellow in the center
>>21609845I found a massive patch of the chicken a couple weeks ago on a felled elm? Couldn't believe how much was on the fucker. I hardly ever pick shrooms I just like finding and identifying them
>>21609930>No BMW key
>>21609930A lot of the parks in the bay area have signs up in Chinese/ Thai/ whatever basically saying "if you eat the mushrooms you think you recognize you're going to fucking die"
>>21609777That's not how mushrooms work, stop freaking out.Mushrooms don't "leach out" toxins on your hands or cross contaminate eachother (unless they VISIBLY exude a latex, like the Lactarius genus). Most edible mushrooms' mycelium is intertwined with deadly ones. Boletes grow in the same places as amanitas and even amanitas phalloides. They sometimes grow very close to eachother, it doesn't make them toxic by proximity. You can perfectly handle an amanita phalloides and even smell it (yes, you can smell all mushrooms, the all have a smell - mature death caps smell like withered roses).In fact you can also take a bite to taste them, the only condition is to never ever swallow. Spit it out, rinse your mouth. Mushrooms are only dangerous when eaten and digested. Though I wouldn't recommend doing that.>the most deadly in the worldBy number of yearly deaths, other mushrooms contain amanitins and can cause irreversible organ damage, some contain other toxins and are just as deadly, or more.Galerina marginata contains six times more amatoxins by weight than the death cap, Lepiota brunneoincarnata contains them too, Amanita virosa (called destroying angel because it's entirely white) which also contains phallotoxins on top of amatoxins.There's some shroom in Asia that only needs a couple of grams to kill.
>>21609755Why do foragers always have sausage fingers? Same with this guy:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYEI4-4oths
>>21609959Yeah this is what you should look for. Any yellow and don't risk it.
>>21609999Sometimes when you find a patch it's massive. I've seen ones where there are easily 15 - 20 pounds in one bloom. Crazy stuff.
>>21610348Forgot pic of course. More incoming.
>>21610353A smattering of things, mostly elm oysters. Some of these were huge.
>>21610361One of the great things about elm oysters is that if you live somewhere they grow, they are super easy to spot and even for novice hunters are almost impossible to misidentify. They grow out of knots on living Manitoba maple / box elder trees. The trees are very weedy so they grow all over the place and if it's been a summer and fall with good rain, virtually any box elder of a decent size will have at least one. Fun story, one time scrambling back in the brush looking for them I found a dead body!
>>21610337yeah
>>21610373This dude was delicious
>>21610392Lion's mane is super good for you but I don't care for it otherwise
>>21610283Not all... That's all for now. If anyone cares I'll flood more pics later.
>>21610348I'd guess it was at least 10 lbs worth. Pretty cool to see. A park near me also has a time of year where there are coral mushrooms EVERYWHERE and that's also pretty fun to walk around and see. Lots of Indian pipe weed in that park too
>>21610283I have big muscles in my fingers, what about you?
>>21610398I don’t forage myself (too scared lol) but I enjoy seeing your haul
>>21610373>found a dead body!story?
>>21611401read between the lines anon he killed someone dumped them in the woods then told police he stumbled on someone while mushroom foraging
>>21610620Anon I hate to break it to you, but there are no muscles in your fingers. The muscles responsible for moving your fingers are in your forearm and palm. It's possible to thicken your finger tendons with training, but in your case it's just fat.
>>21611451That's a new one. What's next, you're going to tell me fatties are NOT big boned?
>>21611451I have big tendons in my fingers, what about you?
>>21611401There's very little story other than it was more upsetting than I expected and I suspect it was a dumped body. I have worked in an anatomy lab, so seen a number of cadavers and dissected bodies, I've also run into many dead animals in my woodland ramblings over the years. So I was in this section of scrub trees that runs behind the end of my street. It's hard to see but there's a steep drop into a valley at the end of this street. Almost all those trees are big old box elders but it's a pain in the ass so one goes there except me about once a year looking for mushrooms, it's solid weeds a good portion of which are thistles and nettles. As I was going I could smell something dead, but I assumed it was a coyote or turkey vulture or something, it's not that uncommon. As I was getting to the point where you can see the street and a guard rail. Then I noticed a pair of shoes and then that they were attached to a body, a man but decayed enough that's all I could tell. I only looked for a moment though, turned and me and my dog got right the fuck out. As I say I've seen human cadavers, many dead rotting animals and plenty of gore videos on /gif/ over the years. This put me in shock. I vomited every time I thought of it for days and it took me till the next day just to call it in to the police.I know nothing of the case, but I suspect the body was dumped. It was stiff and straight at the end of the street with a steep drop off.
>>21609842Do mushrooms grow in deserts or am i fucked?
>>21611981Probably, yeah. It depends how much of a desert, but the mushrooms we see are just the fruiting parts of huge fungi, and those rely on a lot of roots andvrich soil. If there aren't trees and water around then there's not much for them to grow on.
>>21611981Fungi thrive off of low/no light (UV fucks them up) and high humidity so you do the math.
oh hell yeah mushroom threadtoday cooked pochini and beefsteak fungus from my forest with a creamy cheese sauce and pasta
>>21614784Ayyy nice, sounds delicious
>>21609820The gnomes of the woods would play their little flutes to entice the wind to push you out of the path of the deadly toadstools.
>>21609930That would explain all those fatalities we see in guest workers picking mushrooms and berries here in Sweden. There's a lot of people from thailand comming to do that work for some reason, and well in Swedish woods the death cap is a rather common mushroom. I guess they're thinking they're getting a nice meal and end up dying from organ failure some time later.
>>21615779kek
>>21614784>pochinibased retard
>>21609842since this is the mushroom thread i might as well ask.around here sometimes it sprouts small, round, white mushrooms.what's weird about that is that once they mature enough, if you stomp them they release what i assume are the spores in a form of grayish smoke.southern europe, usually found on damp ground inbetween trees.anyone got any idea?i know they're not edible, but i was curious because of the puff thing
>>21609845Based. One of the few shrooms I feel comfortable picking when I find them. All others I'm too paranoid.
>>21615920puffballs bro
>>21616450in my defense, i'm an ESL and don't know much about mushrooms.kind of a shame tho, i really should try more varieties
>>21616490i could be wrong too, and "puffball" could just be a local term. i actually got worried briefly that i would giving bad advice with the post. no need to defend yourself and your english is perfectly-goodit's just one of those things where regional/colloquial terms can be confused. lots of mushrooms may dehydrate and give off spores when stomped on, for example. like a dandelion. you can eat dandelions i make salads all the time and people love them. puffballs you can definitely eat, too, as long as they are ivory white in the centeri don't want to get someone killed over language issues (just kidding, but not some anon here)
>>21615920>>21616520Puffball is the common term, they've been talked about in the thread. Though they're edible, most people don't bother with them like that. They're more commonly just stomped on for fun or user as toys of a sort for kids. >>21616373If you're cool with that, there are a few similarly nigh impossible to misidentify species that are super good and might grow near you. >>21610373
I wished I liked mushrooms really, but something about them makes me not like them at all.
>>21610202based myco anon
Found a couple incredible beefsteak fungus recently, they really do look like meat when cut up. You can eat them raw and they have a slight citrus taste or once fully cooked they're pretty much like a regular shroom in taste, this one was bigger than my hand
>>21617169looks fleshy and goodwhere do these grow? not familiar with them but it reminds me of the chicken of the woods
OP here. I passed away from mushroom poisoning
>>21618310RIP OP, hope you learned a lesson
>>21618432I wish, it's kind of a clusterfuck down here. The main attraction has been Charlie Kirk sucking off Jeffery Epstien while they both get fucked by giant Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant puppets. Caesar Romero thinks it's funny at least...
>>21609755SHE-CONalso goodnight sweet prince
Consuming mushroom you find outside is deadly and stupid. You just don't do it.Even consuming mushrooms you grow yourself, even if you know the strain has to be checked multiple times and inspected so you know. If theres some retarded teenagers looking to grow magic mushrooms PLEASE do not ingest any before doing research on what it should look like and make sure it is 100% correctly identified before consuming.
Theres so many mushroom species. Species that glow in the dark, mushrooms that leak resin, mushrooms that look like blood, fuzzy mushrooms. We don't even know how many mushroom species there are. Do not fucking eat them. Even in a survival situation you can live for WEEKS off 10lbs of body fat. Never eat random food if you're stranded you can get fucked up majorly. Bet bet is to kill an animal or fish and cook it very well.
>>21621513>>21621517You sound scared dude. Like what happened to you?
