Is it safe to eat mushrooms? I feel down the portabella rabbit hole and now am scared to eat some blue oysters I got even though my intuition tells me they're different species so probably fine
If you're not a mycologist, the answer is no.
>>21628567Sure. Best case scenario they massively fuck you up and you or a loved one can sue them for millions. Worst case scenario you continue living with no settlement money.
Why would you be scared of the third most common culinary mushroom?
>>21628567Go on, take a bite. It'll be fine. Don't fear the reaper. Laugh in his face instead.
>>21628585is OP not talking about picking wild mushrooms to eat? why would he be worried otherwise
>>21628585>>21628589Iirc there's a conspiracy going around as of late that portabella mushrooms have a bunch of carcinogens in them
shut the fuck up OP and look at this thing I just basically picked and cooked and and yeah and you're fucking stupid
>>21628567You’re good bro. I usually just walk into the woods and eat whatever I find like a buffet. Our ancestors evolved this way. Do your evolutionary duty
There is still no mushroom encyclopedia that covers all the individual differences and similarities.
>>21628567Mushrooms are all poisonous to some degree - lots of hydrazine and amine based metabolites and mycotoxins. The edible ones aren't any more dangerous than potatoes or tomatoes if eaten in sane amounts, but they all want to eat you more than you want to eat them.
>>21628567Our species has been eating and cultivating mushrooms for centuries, you'll be fine.
>>21628567No one ever died from eating mushrooms, anon.
>>21628942mushrooms have been cultivating and eating us for centuries. They were quite upset when we started burning their food - they prefer us on the rarer side.
>>21628567>the portabella rabbit holeWhat the fuck is this?>>21628656Portobello mushrooms are just older button mushrooms. Same exact species, grown the same exact way, just harvested later.I know you weren't promoting this bullshit; I'm just informing anyone looking at your post. You may also already know that all mushrooms have medicinal compounds, even button mushrooms from the grocery store.>>21628914Poisonous and medicinal is a fine line.
They make me fart and shit
>>21629843Don't take agaratine therapeutically, no matter what those frauds at New Nordic tell you.
Whenever I eat portabella mushrooms my head hurts after that. I noticed this the last 2 times I ate them so I had them a 3rd time just to be sure and it happened again. I got a headache and I felt kind of heavy and bloated. I made a thread about it here and some people called me a faggot and other said there are some toxins in it which may cause this. Other mushrooms don't make have that effect on me. I don't even know why I eat them desu, they have this weird taste that I always kind of disliked. That being the big portabella that you stuff with other food.
the "carcinogen" in portobellos is present in a lot of edible mushrooms & you would need to eat an unfeasable amount of them to reach the concentrations that would result in cellular damage
