Thread 2:
>Posted about an hour later
>Image of different mushroom
>Says he's cleaned them off and eaten some
>Wants to know when he'll start feeling the effects
>An anon informs him that both mushrooms he's posted are toxic
>Perhaps OP should contact poison control?
>OP freaks out, saying he can't go to the hospital because he's just smoked a ton of weed
>Anons chime in asking if OP is dead yet

Thread 3:
>6 hours later
>OP posts selfie from hospital bed with an IV in his arm
>Says hospital confirmed toxic mushrooms, but he didn't eat enough to die
>Relentless mockery and screencaps from all anons who reply

Don't be that anon. Thanks.

Go to your bookstore or online and get a mushroom field guide for your region.

Also you need strong descriptions of its cap shape, gill shape, stipe, spore print, etc.

Also that specimen looks old as fuck. Enjoy your bugs and shit flavor, even if it is an edible variety.

I'm a mycologist and the people that only see fungi in the context of food drive me crazy. I know it's often the gateway to learning about fungi, but some people take it to the extreme.

I've led forays and shown people beautiful ascomycetes and start telling people their ecology, biology, etc. and all they ask is, "is it edible". Does a 2 mm diameter cup fungus seem like it would make a good meal?

Or people coming to me with a mushroom/polypore and I start talking about it's ecology and they interrupt with, "is it edible?". I say no or it's not palatable and they toss it over their shoulder and don't care.

Well, food is the only, or at least the primary, context by which many, many people interact with mushrooms. It's easier for them to contemplate, say, a juniper bush in terms of aesthetics, because they're used to seeing juniper in the context of topiary, or other decorations. You have to be patient while people make new associations in their brains for mushrooms.

Sarcoscypha austriaca... or maybe S. coccinea, microscopically they are easily distinguished.

They are among the first discomycetes found in spring. They often overwinter and mature when the snow melts, so it seems they just appeared recently. They are a welcome sight every spring, very beautiful.

How did you prepare them?

I'm not a huge mushroom fan, but when I've wanted to eat morels I just dredge them in flour with some salt and pepper and fry in butter. Someone I know stuffs them with a mixture of cream cheese, chives, and canned salmon and cooks them like that. Never tried it, but sounds good.

Black Morale's man. Fucking can't get enough of those. I recently found out some states will buy them off you at around 90$ a pound. My hunting partner and I just eat them.

Sour cream + heavy cream/whipping cream in a sauce pan, add salt pepper, butter, beef broth, garlic, onions and a ton of dill, heat on low until bubbling/cooking, add in diced/washed Morales. serve over steak and rice. fucking godly.

There really isn't a consensus on their edibility so I wouldn't recommend it. It would be pointless to eat them anyway, they offer virtually no flavor or known benefits and couldn't possibly fill you up. They are visually stunning, best to enjoy them with your eyes.

IMHO the less you do to them, the better. Obviously, fried is good because frying makes anything taste good. I like to eat them raw, or quickly brown them in butter. The most I'd do would be to mix them with ramps and asparagus, some oil, and broil or grill until crispy.

I'm sure they'd be good with cream cheese, chives, and salmon, but you'd be wasting the delicate flavor, IMHO.

A loupe is key in the field but a microscope is needed to identify many discomycetes, mushrooms, molds, etc. I don't have a field microscope though, I just brings things back to the lab.

Close-up. Pores are so small they're not visible by the naked eye. Doesn't bruise or ooze. Older sections are hard and woody.

I'm pretty sure it's hen of the woods, it's just growing weirdly compared to ones I've seen before.

might be some random polypore, not deadly or anything but not tasty either.
