I've been at it 4 years and the only one I've seen was the size of a ping pong ball Nice find! Did you invite it home for dinner?

Nah, the slugs already got to it on the other side, and I'm not quite up to eating wild mushrooms yet (outside of morels).

Greatest Living Man posted:Some ones in Bavaria. Bavaria must be a look like Denmark, 'cause we have all of the same ones right now! The lol one is Coprinus comatus, known as Lawyer's Wig. We call it Wig-hat here - it's actually a quite decent morsel if you get them young, we picked and fried some yesterday and ate them on bread! E: but don't get drunk at the same time, they create compounds that make alcohol, uh, very dangerous. Tias fucked around with this message at 12:37 on Oct 27, 2020 |

Harry Potter on Ice posted:What is the second one here and the first in your album? I think I saw both on one of my walks 2nd one here looks like Pseudoclitocybe cyathiformis (heh), AKA a goblet funnel cap, but they were all very distinctly purple so I'm not quite sure. First one in the album is probably Macrolepiota procera (parasol).

Cool, thanks! Mine wasnt a funnel cap now that I look closer but the other was really close if not the parasol

This isn't a mushroom, it's a slime mold! Wolf's milk slime to be precise.

Why are (some) mushrooms so poisonous, what benefit does it give them to be able to kill a whole pile of people per-cap

Most animals can tell by taste or smell, allowing them to grow to maturity in peace unless some dumbshit humans show up.

It’s also possible some are ‘just’ unpleasant or dangerous to the wildlife they evolved to deter and happen to be extremely fatal to humans.

The vast majority of natural plant (or fungal) poisons are alkaloids, which mammals have evolved to largely interprete as an exceedingly bitter taste. Caffeine is an alkaloid. Try biting down on a caffeine tablet sometime, that flavour won't go away all day.

How bad poisons are varies a lot from species to species too. Chocolate kills dogs, grapes kill some dogs (seemingly at random), etc etc. Box turtles are edible except they love to eat toadstools and will retain some of the poison for a while and be potentially deadly. A fitting punishment for eating a box turtle.

A fitting punishment for eating a box turtle. Nature's greatest joke is that Australia is full of things that are mildly poisonous/venomous to most mammals (but highly poisonous/venomous to primates) which evolved that capability in the absence of primates.

Went to the churchyard and got an assload of Suillus luteus, syn. boletus luteus - apparently referred to as "slippery jack" or "sticky bun" in English We call it brown-yellow slime bolete. Didn't taste so well, though, perhaps they were too big. Also got a bunch of Xerocomellus chrysenteron, or red cracking bolete, but I didn't get a pic.

In German they're called Butterpilze. Those are also ringless, so they're a little less tasty than the ones with rings. Also they gave me diarrhea.

Appropriately, in Sweden they're 'smörsopp' (butter mushroom). Me too Thought it was just my IBS being a poo poo, but maybe it's a thing.

Tias posted:Appropriately, in Sweden they're 'smörsopp' (butter mushroom). Yeah those appear to be suillus collinitus, which are generally considered less edible than suillus luteus. But if you had problems digesting one, then my source says to probably avoid all suillus.

I’ve read that you’re supposed to pull the slimy layer off the cap to reduce GI impact, as it’s very common for that part to cause diarrhea.

Just chiming in that removing the slimy covering of a butter bolete.

Yeah, I peeled the cap off all of them first. Even if they didn't cause all sorts of bowel fun I just wouldn't dig on the texture. Thanks for diarrhea info!

I love Hydnums Lots of Hydnums A clump of Nebularis THE Amanita Pac Man Hydnums, much like chanterelles, are a single block of fungi flavour that's easy to clean and usually completely ignored by larvae. They are a little on the tougher side, but they just need more cooking. Tafferling fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Oct 31, 2020 |

Hmm, I don't know. The caps of these here don't seem to have those distinctive black dots. The rims are also a bit lighter in color.

the yeti posted:I wonder if this is what haritan describes in this post https://www.instagram.com/p/CHNweW9M1VG/?igshid=1kypc82yeny6s I'm pretty sure they were baby cyanescens from the growing in birch chips, white stems and purple bruising after they were picked but a spore print will be nice to confirm. Also they were super wet or jelly like which seems to be a big indicator? They should be a bit bigger today or tomorrow. I'm slowly learning! Cant stop looking for mushrooms now they're everywhere Nice shaggy inkcap this morning

Ah yeah that blue and purple bruising is telltale, Psilocybe sp., would have been my next guess

What mushrooms do y'all hunt in the winter months? My neighbor's dead tulip poplar puts out a ton of veiled oysters around Christmas, but I don't know what else to look for in the Southeast US before morel season.

Do yellowfeet (Craterellus tubaeformis) grow there? It's what I pick in the finnish winter months since it doesn't mind freezing.

I don’t really do much old weather hunting but I know brick caps and oysters are around, and once it warms a touch lots of jelly fungus pop up on the winter’s storm fall. Careful with brick caps though they have a couple nasty lookalikes and co-occur with Galerina marginata

I had a productive visit to south central Oregon over the weekend. We ended up taking home a dozen big fat white chantrelles and four huge Matsutakes. I’ve been trying to hone my skills at finding porcinis, and we did find a few fat boletes but most were already rotting or I just couldn’t ID them well enough to feel good about eating them. White Chantrelle Unknown bolete This has been a head scratcher. I think it is Smith’s Amanita. The cap was very textured, but I couldn’t see the veil remnant on the stalk I would have expected to see. Matsutake. I grilled this one last night and it was amazing. The rest is going to be grilled and added to ramen. Best mushroom. Scaly Chanterelle Zeller’s Bolete?? Cracked Bolete Western Painted Suillis No idea. Love this one, can’t ID it. Anyone? Lepiota americana, maybe? Russula brevipes I believe. This was very large, maybe 10-12 inches in diameter. Stinking Dapperling Blue Staining Suillis Umber-Brown Puffball Pholiota limonella Aniseed Toadstool Amethyst Deceiver Questionable Stropharia Boar’s Head Dark Honey Fungus, Armillaria ostoyae If anyone has a recommendation for cooking the chanterelles I’m all ears. So far we’ve done a pesto sauce, but I’m not sure what to try next. Guido Merkens fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Nov 10, 2020 |

cream base with chanterelles, salt, pepper and on toasted bread. They're quite good in omelettes, on pizza or in stews/soups too.
