Mushroom ID

Looking over the wikipedia page on this mushroom and all the similar, very edible ones...Yeah I'm never foraging mushrooms.

There are old mushroom foragers and then there are bold ones. There are no bold, old mushroom foragers.

Looks like a destroying angel (e.g. Amanita virosa) to me. This and the death cap together account for the vast majority of mushroom poisonings in the world. Cooking it will not destroy the toxins, nor will acid. Symptoms tend to appear 5-24 hours after eating, too late to pump the stomach. Half a mushroom can be enough to kill you.

I don't recommend going out to pick mushrooms unless you know what you're doing. If you do, stay away from the white ones. You can still get terrible stomach cramps and diarrhea from other colors of mushrooms, but the white ones have the most dangerous species.

Neural networks are magical anywhere that near misses are good enough.

Companies keep using them as if they're infallible, when lives and fortunes are at stake.

Tech is not the problem.

I love fungi facts.

Technically it's still edible

My fucked up brain goes like, "woah, I wonder what death tastes like."

2 mushrooms hard to fuck up in America.

Chicken of the Forest.

Morels.

I remember selling like 5 lbs of morels when I was a kid and getting like $200. That was without even driving to the city to make the real money.

I remember being on a wilderness weekend many years ago and being told that when you cut the stem on some poisonous shrooms they discolour a sort of blue tint. I'm lucky, I hate the taste and texture of mushrooms.

Which mushroom is it then? 😱
