Doing some hunting is this mushroom safe

If you get sick and die after taking advice on mushrooms from this board you almost deserve it.

Thats an Armillaria mellea, they are edible, but may cause an upset stomach if found growing on hemlock, buckeye, eucalyptus, and locust trees

>>621730
It's totally safe bro. Not going to kill you or anything.

OP, do yourself a favor and read up on mushroom identification, or better yet go out with someone that knows what they're looking for. You're just asking to get sick or poison yourself to death by asking an online message board to ID everything you've picked in hopes of it being edible.

I suggest getting some spore prints and verifying species. They seem old and dried so judging by only appearance may lead to an early death.

Can you identify this shroom? Found in central CT.

Here's a picture of the spore print, in case anybody qualified happens to lurk. This is actually my first set of prints ever, so I'm pretty stoked that they actually came out.

I m impressed. Are you a mycologist ?

>>624972
Haha, can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but thank you. I am not a mycologist, it's actually fairly simple to produce a spore print.

>>625069
Are you sure you replied to the right post?

Soo, how do you guys like your shrooms?
I like Mushroom soup, but it needs to be made from finely ground dried mushrooms. I do NOT enjoy slimy things or big chunks.
I only really eat freshly picked mushrooms with eggs and plenty of parsley, but I don't mind thin slices if next to my meat if I'm grilling.

I love fried parasol mushrooms.
On rare occasions I've eaten raw Amanita caesarea.
It's pretty hard to find around here and it's protected by law, so I can't really go around picking it elsewhere.
>>625069
Embarrassing.

I like to cook them down for soups, sauces and fry-ups. I like my chanterelles cooked in a little butter with eggs over toast, agarics in Hungarian goolash, and sparassis in chicken soups.

Also psudohydnum(pic related) is is a nice trail snack in the PNW, easy to ID. No cooking required.

Never eat a mushroom unless you are 100% sure of its identification.

If you do choose to eat one, always cook it first. Uncooked mushrooms may contain parasites or other pathogens, some are even toxic unless cooked to remove chemical toxins. Some toxins cannot be removed even after being cooked, so again, do not eat unless you are 100% sure it's edible.

To properly ID a mushroom you need to know its shape, including cap structure (if present), stipe structure and gill structures (if present). Spore prints also help, but there are some mushrooms that can only be properly identified by looking under a microscope and examining their spore morphology.

I'm not very good at ID'ing shrooms (even less-so based on blurry or incomplete photos), but none of the ones posted in this thread are familiar to me as commonly found edible mushrooms that are considered good-tasting. I'd recommend not eating it just to be safe.

>>625086
Are you sure you're not an insufferable faggot?

>>625069
No Im fully serious. How you know them is amazing. Obviously you pick mushrooms up and take their spore prints.

How many do you know now ?

>>625102
I love em grilled whole with melted butter in the gills
Fried slices in butter
Psychoactive's in lemon and ginger tea
I would love to try mushroom soup if its thick. how do?

Who mycologist here?

I'm currently doing some agar cultures of Pleurotus eryngii and once I get an uncontaminated sample, I can grow them in substrate.

Pic related is some I grew in the past.

After these, I'm going to attempt to grow some Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum)

Since Slavs are natural born mycologists I recommend that you don't eat any mushrooms with the little ridges on the bottom.

>>621730
Mushrooms aren't worth the calories it takes to bend over and pick them up. Its absolutely never worth eating them. If you're ever hungry enough to try an unidentified mushroom, you're far better off eating bugs.

>>625965
Yeah but they taste good.

If you somehow find yourself in a situation where your life could be in danger from caloric imbalance then sure, don't bother with them. But for those of us not practicing for a SHTF fantasy or living in an African refugee camp, mushrooms are wonderful additions to our already plentiful meals.

>>625977
If you're absolutely certain of what species they are. Keep in mind, many professional instructors have died from misidentification of mushrooms.

Don't get me wrong, I love mushrooms, and I love foraging, but I don't mix those interests. Several toxic mushrooms cause excruciatingly painful deaths.

>>621759
That kind of looks like a death cap.

I stumbled on those yesterday. In Normandy. What are those?

>>626699
Ink caps, probably mica caps.

>>626722
Thanks.

>>624328

Interested to know on this one too...

Really don't know much on the subject so these kinda look like Agaricus pretending to be Ceps to me

>>626762

Hard to tell from a pic, but a possibility is a gilled bolete.

I can identify something by the texture and the feel of it pretty well. It's hard to describe the feel of certain mushrooms. If it feels bolete-y, that's what'd I'd say it is.

>>627184
Thought so too, but I hadn't heard of gilled boletes before. The tops remind me of slippery jacks
