Anyone know anybody that's been poisoned or died from this? How painful was it and how much did they take, also how do the seedless berries taste

>yfw
Oh no, to be clear it's for myself.
anon don't hurt yourself please :[
Just get a handful of amanita muscaria
That was clear you melodramatic b***h. Just jump off a bridge or suck start a 12 gauge like the rest of us
on this tree only the berries are safe to eat, but you need to spit out the seed
This. They have a revolting texture like a snotty lychee
>Ewe tree
God I wish that were me
If you're trying to kys why not go for a heroic dose of amanita and chase it with jack-o-lantern?
amanita isn't poisonous
If you don't processes it you'll certainly shit your guts out but you won't die unless your very old or a child.
>amanita isn't poisonous
These are the people (and I use that term generously) I have to share a board with...
I love We Have Always Lived In The Castle
I think he means muscaria
I see the problem here--you're a midwit and constantly offended because you're moronic but think your smart.
The common denominator is you anon--always has been.
Embrace your sub 100 IQ and stop pretending you're smart--your life will get better.
Correct. The 80 Iq projects more than they observe--common issue with midwits.
Learn what a midwit is. Midwits have above average IQs but not so high that they are truly intelligent. They are somewhere in the 105 to 120 range. Smart enough to feel superior, not smart enough to notice their own shortcomings. Like you.
I don't like to quantify the IQ of midwits, because I'm secretly afraid I'm one of them (138 IQ and not from one of those free online tests).
There is no difference between the behavior of a midwit and an 80 IQ. They're equally as destructive--that's like distinguishing a locust from a european starling.
Midwit has more to do with behavior than a test score. I've known plenty of engineers, lawyers and doctors that were dumb as fricking rocks.

Hey everyone, thanks for the (you)'s! I knew he meant A. muscaria, because the "heroic dose" part implied a psychoactive effect. Still, to quote Paracelsus: "Alle Dinge sind Gift, und nichts ist ohne Gift; allein die Dosis macht, dass ein Ding kein Gift ist."
>I was just pretending to be moronic
keep telling yourself that--it's pretty obvious you don't actually know what you're talking about.
>ree I need (you)s
you have a mental disorder
How is it obvious, pray tell? I did my bachelor's thesis on Hygrocybe distribution and did a lot of field research, soil analysis and spore analysis. What's your credentials?
Fun fact: You said a bunch of moronic shit so your credentials just make you stand out as an educated idiot--not an expert.
>a bunch of moronic shit
You're grasping. Pathetic.
>I am an expert at mycology
>Posts nothing to do with mycology
lol, yes, you lied about your credentials, posted nothing of value, and keep posting nothing of value: you are indeed pathetic.
Amanita muscaria--not poisonous.
Keep seething midwit and stop pretending to be an expert when it's clear you're a wikepedia warrior.
Yup, nothing but an impotent, bitter little man who can't take a joke.
what joke?
You're posts are flat line junk.
Amanita muscaria--not poisonous.
Yes, everything you know is from Wikepidia and "looking" something up means typing into google and reading reading whatever pops up first.
You're not smart--just like the educated idiot I'm making fun of.
Imagine simping this hard for a damn toadstool, lol. Amanita Muscaria is mildly poisonous. Cope, seethe and dilate all you like, but you have to deal with it.
>Wikepedia warrior strikes again
Keep sucking that big pharma wiener
What the frick are you on about. Fly agaric definitely IS poisonous. It's just not a lethal poison in common doses. Are you that same homosexual berating a guy for going camping with his dad. I feel sorry dor you, your life must really suck if you're this desperate for attention.
>If I say the same lie over and over it must be true
>Straw man
>Bloviating
So, you suck corporate pharmaceutical wiener AND you have a mental disorder.
I already knew you had a mental disorder but thanks for further evidence.
Where is the lie? Where is the straw man? What the frick does any of this have to do with the pharmaceutical industry?
>if I keep lying then anons will believe me
where's the lie?
Use your words, child, I know that's a difficult request but I believe in you.
NTA but it is poisonous. Not sure why you'd say otherwise when everyone can just look it up.
Amanita Muscaria isn't poisonous. It contains toxins that can make you sick if you eat enough of them or don't process them correctly.
I can't tell if you're just pretending to be stupid?
>Amanita Muscaria
>not poisonous just has toxins
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/poisonous
You are dumber than the blackest gorilla ape Black person, congratulations.
Yes
You don't know anything about botany or biology so I can see why you're very clearly moronic.
Amanita Muscaria are not poisonous no matter how much you insist on lying about it.
Nta, but I would consider them "poisonous." Not in the way Water Hemlock, Taxus, Rosary Pea, Monkshood etc. obviously, and sure there are thousands of plants that border on toxic to benign or that would require massive amounts to be truly dangerous. But considering these types of mushrooms are often eaten in fairly large amounts negative effects seem to be definitely possible... but I wouldn't call it deadly though.
There was a dude that ate 2 lbs of them and didn't die--they did a whole case study.
Anything natural that big pharma hates is called poisonous... especially psychotropics that have a potential to break down social conditioning--that's a big no no.
If these are poisonous than 90% of pharmaceuticals should also be labeled as such.
ffs
Midol, Advil, Tylonal can all kill you -- even cough syrup can kill you.
Alot of pharmaceuticals ARE clearly poisonous. But there are also alot of things (plants etc.) that don't have nearly the capacity for negative effects as that particular fungus. There is a giant list of borderline plants and mushrooms. Ultimately you have to make a call and draw a line somewhere and this one, for me, clearly has the capacity to cause enough effects that I consider it "poisonous." The topoc of natural recreational hallucinogens is a bit tougher but in my opinion, Whether someone finds the cognitive effects good or bad, it is still having that effect on the body.
>It's poisonous because I say so
yes, obviously, which is why I keep calling you moronic: because you are.
I have a collection of encyclopedias for this very reason. You don't have an argument--you have a mental disorder.
Please frickoff back to reddlt with your pupil and lies because it's obvious you're moronic, wrong, disingenuous and don't know what you're talking about at all.
>thinks it has to kill you or break your legs to be considered poisonous
Look up the definition of injury too. The mushroom doesnt have to suplex your homosexual ass to injure you. Stupid ESL monkeys.
for clarity, moron, it causes neither injury or death. It causes discomfort and pooping--so by your logic coffee and eating too much candy on Halloween is the same as eating poison.
Keep being moronic and lying--it's obvious you can't help it.
not him, but he didn't mention muscaria, just amanita, which is a group that contain edible and tasty ceasarea and deadly poisonous verna
that being said, I can't tell if you are pretending to be stupid or just can't read (because you are stupid for real)
So, you have the communication skills of a child--thanks for clarifying. I'll make sure to pretend I'm talking to a 5 year old next time, you might be able to keep up than.
I think that nasty b***h Boudicca killed herself with it.
On a side note, can we take this moment to appreciate Paulinus- for taking a brave stand against great odds and completely btfo'ing that nasty b***h Boudicca. If not for this conspicuous act of heroism, can you imagine the sheer amount of "stronk woman" Netflix bullshit and vidya we would be bombarded by today?
THANK YOU PAULINIUS.
I believe in the Roman naming convention he is normally referred to as Seutonius, and yes his use and placement of skill, training, and discipline wasted the Iceni and this proved many things that needed to be proven.
Seutonius is confusing because of the other more well known Seutonius.
well yeah Suetonius Tranquillus I guess also is famous for his colorful histories
I don't know anyone who died, but apparently it's very fast if you take a large enough dose so I can't imagine it'd be too bad. I did make a habit of eating the aril (they're technically not berries) and spitting out the seed, they're okay. Slightly sweet, soft, not a strong flavor. Pleasant enough.
Apparently a couple of the seeds is enough to kill you.
I enjoy eating the fleshy bits as they're about the sweetest tasting thing you can forage in Ireland so it's a bit of a novelty.
They have the consistency of precum though
>They have the consistency of precum though
how would you know...
There's an old saying,
"Tie your horse to a yew tree by the church, it will be dead by the time you get out"
umm i was trimming one of these once and got a needle in my mouth and accidentally bit it a little bit and within 5 minutes my mouth and nose and sinus cavities all got inflamed and swollen for like an hour or 2 so yea that shit is nasty. Supposedly there is old lore that you shouldn't even sleep near them because on a hot day they can off-gas the same toxic compounds. They would grow them in church and castle courtyards in the event of a siege and they wanted to kill themselves instead of being brutalized.
never heard this one
i see them a lot around houses and i wonder if the goal isn't to keep rodents and critters away.
These need to be on the endangered species list
The timber industry will never allow it because it would frick their ongoing rape of nature
FYI costal logging in north america is why the mid west is in drought and why the forest fire risk has skyrocked.
It's hard to tell a difference in any taxus varieties but I don't think the Florida Yew (or Torreya Taxifolia for that matter) being endangered has anything to do with logging. I can't speak for Pacific Yew though.
My view on wildfires is that they are fairly natural if you don't do controlled burns. The issue is that people build houses now.. so it is unacceptable to let them go unabated amd destroy all that property. So the way I see it, you either do controlled burns and lay down really good firebreaks everywhere (like in the South East) or you just accept the reality that a big fire could come through at some point.
>Wildfires are natural in lowland rainforests
frick no they aren't
they clearcut nearly the entire Olympic peninsula in the early 1900s (which is why it's hard to find 1,000-2,000 year old trees even in the national park).
They cut it all down and burned most of it--the park banned logging completely but now the fricktarded boomer logging cartel clearcuts from canada to California fricking the watersheds and creating the perfect environment for forest fires. Whoever tells you logging prevents forest fires in costal rainforests is a lying piece of shit.
>Lowland rainforests
The entire west isn't lowland rainforest lol. Anyways I'm no expert on the Pacific woodlands, and I suppose it's possible some specific areas could be impacted to the point where they no longer hold water... but those are select areas. HOWEVER as a general matter if mostly conifer woodlands are allowed to drop debris for long enough there WILL be fuel to burn hot enough to climb up trees and it is just a matter of time before you get a drought enough for ignition. Period.
On the other side of the country- in the injuns' time- there used to be fires burn from SC to FL. And that's a wet ass part of the country and it was prior to logging. Why did this stop? Because of control burns and firebreaks.
But look I too hate logging because of what it does to the ecology of a region, but I'm sort of sick of this attitude that wild fires should NEVER happen lol. It's like people crying climate change everytime a bad hurricane happens in the gulf. They are a natural fricking occurrence.
>The entire west isn't lowland rainforest
it used to be
Much of it still is
>inland pine have a fire cycle
correct--that fire cycle is made much worse by logging. As an added kick to the teeth logging coastal rainforests (and coastal forests in general) significantly reduces inland rain... making the inland fires larger (dryer conditions).
Florida and SC used to have way more wetlands and yankie morons filled most of them in--once again creating the forest fires they're claiming to have "solved"
Forest fires should rarely happen and mega fires should never happen. I'm tired of lying logging buttholes and their boomer parrots.
Actually much of the southeast used to have an immense amount of wiregrass longleaf savannah compared to modern times- an ecosystem which depends on frequent hot burns. Those uplands have borne the brunt of logging activity compared to the south eastern wetlands which have remained much more intact compared to the uplands. However the wiregrass uplands have mostly all been converted to planted pine (basically the gay version of longleaf savannah) that get burned once every year or two so they never build up enough debris to burn too hot.
I have no doubt in my mind that if you didn't burn the uplands in the SE every year you would still get mega fires. My point is that the amount of debris that accumulates has a direct correlation to large wildfires. Now it is complicated by the fact that SE broadleaf forests basically don't burn because the oak leaves get layered up so thick it is basically like trying to burn a book.. so I don't really know how they burned in the past except maybe in times of extreme drought and enough wind.
Also droughts do happen. You might say they are more common in some areas but over the years it just happens sometimes. Anyways I'm not defending commercial forestry I hate that shit but fires to some degree are natural that's all I'm saying.
>Droughts happen
...yes, in the absence of biomass and contiguous forests and wetlands you get the drought cycle.
The entire east coast obliterated most of their wetlands and are almost about to strangle their major fresh water-water sheds.
80% of america lives east of the mississippi and the east coast is a concrete nightmare that funnels yard waste straight into the ocean like it's still 1800.
The SE coastal plane is the only area of the US that still has actual common wetlands lol. And like I said earlier, the irony is that they are more intact than the upland wiregrass because they have very little commercial use. If you look at the amount of wetland loss in a state like Georgia is drastically lower than a state like California (despite more draconian policies) who has lost upwards of 80-90% of its wetlands.
Also- the entire southern coastal plane from SC to Alabama only has about 10 million inhabitants lol.
>The SE coastal plane is the only area of the US that still has actual common wetlands
what makes you say this?
I was aware of Michigan having alot of them obviously- but I was actually surprised by Minnesota ngl. Having said that I think the map still speaks for itself about the SE as a region having much more wetlands.
Also I should note these days there are literally almost never major forest fires in the SE.. and this is in a place where millions of acres are burned intentionally every year I've never in my life heard of one being a major problem. Mayne the wind picks up and one runs a bit but it's never major.. not like out west.
>Mostly paved over
>where did the fire's go
...about that...
Did you know that most of the 700+ species of palm trees in Florida aren't native? Florida used to have extensive long leaf pine forests.
Sad you have to dig so hard just to find how much swamp in flordia has been filled in the past century.
Yeah look in southern Florida there are tons of tropical introduced plants I'm not surprised, I mean southern Florida is basically tropical and it is a much different place than the southern coastal plane that is truly temperate sub tropical, where you'd maybe only ever see a cabbage palm, sabal, or Palmettos. And yes I am aware of the Florida longleaf- look at Apalachicola Forest.
Anyways, I do not believe most of the west was at one time "Lowland rainforest" kek I mean the topography and the fact that it is a western facing coast pretty much guarantees a wet and dry season- plus an extremely dry climate on the inland side of the mountains for sure I'm not saying certain practices haven't made it worse but I don't see any way the inland side wouldn't be ripe for a mega fire from time to time even before modern activities.
no,
most of the west wasn't
Most of the west COAST was
Old growth was cut back almost to extinction
It used to dominate the west coast
...the destruction was leigon
and than buried by the logging cartels
Much of what is now arid lands in utah, new mexico, colorado, new mexico, and the Navijo nation used to be forested though--the extermination of beaver and great dust bowl (also a result of monoculture destroying soil) took out most of the SW forests... but yes, the rainforest was costal and mostly into idaho, and oregon... those states have fricked their old growth and the logging cartels created the mega fires there.
Indians lit your sacred trees on fire for eons numbnuts
holy shit you homosexuals are still arguing in here lmao
I used to snack on these a lot. They planted many of them near some government buildings for some reason.
The berries are okay. Faintly sweet and not much else. The seeds are very hard, so they can't be accidentally crushed, but you gotta make sure to spit them out.
Yeah, I suicided myself with yew seeds. was maybe 6/10 pain, not great, but not terrible.
