am i the only one here that knows about hygrophorus hypothejus? people on this board are always going for the reddit mushrooms like morels and chanterelles. i get to slurp up bags of these kinos all for myself. thought i'd share it since i am in a good mood
be careful not to mistake it for "the autumn funeral bell"
they don't look similar at all
they look similar to me
the biggest difference is that the good mushroom has much more yellow, a darker center, and it has a slimy cap. i think the poisonous one has a taller cap usually
yeah this is why I don't frick with mushrooms, especially LBMs. I just don't have confidence in my abilities to really learn this shit reliably
if you know what kind of mushrooms grow in your area, you can pick a specific one to target and find a diagram that shows the key differences. something like morels are going to have very distinct differences between the good and bad variants. it's a very easy mushroom to identify, which is why reddit likes to go for it instead of the more obscure mushrooms
That's a bad ID diagram. The cutaway is of a verpa not a gyromitra. You can eat verpa just like morchella. Gyromitra cap and stem are both irregularly solid and hollow. Still impossible to confuse the two if you know what you're looking for and what you're not. But this diagram is bad.
This and the next are gyromitra. Ive seen a picture of the three side by side, but I'm not finding nit now.
cauliflower mushroom? I found one bigger than my head but some all trails fans had there dog and it was barking at everyone, and around the corner comes the park ranger and tells me I can't keep it.
Gyromitra esculenta, cut in half, to show what gyromitra cross section looks like.
why is it illegal in Spain?
I'm not familiar with the laws of Spain. But if I had to guess, it's because, although still popular in some parts of the world, it does kill a number of people each year. It can be made safe through boiling and discarding the water. Gyromitrin is water soluble. But if you don't boil it enough, it doesn't take much gyromitrin to do some serious damage.
Fixed.
There is no bad variant--just one that has to be cooked and one that doesn't. Reddlt is loaded with idiots.
No, not fixed. Gyromitrin doesn't cause diarrhea it causes converts into Monomethylhydrazine which will kill you. And that is still a verpa cross section not a gyromitra. NEVER go to reddit for mushroom IDs.
The amount you'd need to eat in order to die is very large. You're basically saying vodka is poisonous because if you drink too much you'll die--which isn't "technically" wrong.
the lethal dose is under 20mg/kg try harder reddit gay

what are you even arguing? you incorrectly corrected your picture to say false morels must be cooked first. I pointed out that morels need to be cooked too and that more processing than just cooking is needed for gyromitra. We're talking apples and oranges here. Morchellas such as morels and verpas must be cooked or they will give you digestion issues. Gyromitra is an entirely different family(Helvellaceae) which contains gyromitrin and requires more processing than just cooking.
you said more than that--much of it was stupid.
I see my error, I don't consider Gyromitra to be a false moral because they look nothing like them and don't live anywhere near me.
still needs work. Verpa is Verpa bohemica. not esculenta. And if you're changing it to talk about verpa and not gyromitra, you can remove the "or death"
And the only reason you think what I was saying was stupid is because you thought I was talking about verpa(which you call false morels) and not gyromitra, which is why I made a point of using the proper names and not the common names. Go back and re-read now that you understand that we're talking about three different mushrooms. Here in california, we have all three, so it is important to know the difference between all three not just two. The common names here are early morel for verpa, not false. gyromitra is know as false here. Again, why I made a point of using proper names.
Both morels and verpas must be cooked before eating. Gyromitra must be chopped and boiled, discarding the water. It's not as simple as one needs coking and one doesn't. You don't know what you're talking about, so please stop. fricking reddit gays...
>I just looked this up on Wikepedia
Obviously.
What you said is so absurdly stupid I'm simply going to laugh.
confession through projection... I don't use wokapedia
Happy?
still a verpa cross section, not gyromitra...
prove it.
Burdon's on you, not me.
already did
She'd probably have gotten away with it if she lawyered up and didn't chuck the food processor.
apparently they've got 4 previous incidents well documented where the prosecutors think they can demonstrate she has tried to kill her ex in the past. the current situation, with or without the dehydrator debacle, is still so implausible I reckon she would have been found guilty either way.
They're taking their sweet time putting together a case that even her fat ass won't be able to roll out of. Also an independent mom & pops mushroom business went under because they said immediately following this incident they're sales dropped like 90%. Nobody wanted to trust exotic mushrooms anymore after reading about the horrific, nightmare-inducing torture those people experienced up until their deaths.
are they good? wikipedia only lists them as "edible", I assume field guides say the same which is why no one goes for them
i like them, but they are a bit like honey mushrooms in terms of how your digestive system can tolerate them
how do i into mushroom hunting? i started doing some hunting this fall and i found nothing from october - december except a single colony of oysters. i guess i just dont know where to look. olympic peninsula btw.
i was going to say that they only grow if it rains enough, but
>olympic peninsula
isn't is very humid there? i don't know why you aren't finding anything
its supposed to be mushroom paradise idk im probably just moronic.
>olympic peninsula

^^ Was meant for you...
PNW gay here
Elevation matters
Because the PNW goes from ocean to mountain in no time flat there is a noticeable lag between the lowland bloom, the foothill bloom and the sub alpine bloom.
In some cases the lag is in weeks like with chantarelles but it can be months lag when looking at Amanita Muscaria and Chicken of the forest.
Turkey tails bloom almost year round as to Rishi but the stuff like oyster mushrooms generally bloom when there is a drop in temperature than it comes back up 10 to 20 degrees.
There are mushroom clubs all around the PNW though--the one near me meets once every few months but will answer questions year round (rather quickly in my experience).
Make sure to send them lots of pictures if you're doing an ID.
i think hedgehog mushrooms are MAJORLY slept on
>super easy to identify, gotta be a sub 40IQ literal drooling moron to frick it up
>can grow large, but meat remains firm
>perfect just fried in a pan, doesnt go soggy like chanterelles
>abundent when you find a good patch
>rale eny bugs, looking at you bolete!
i go the same place multiple times a year, and every bolete in the are has been picked, but noone touches the headgehogs
people are probably scared by the gills looks different compared to all the other popular mushrooms besides lions mane
>people are probably scared by the gills looks different compared to all the other popular mushrooms
that's even scarier, because it implies these people haven't even read, like, a pamphlet of edible mushrooms
