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.

Those things scare me.
Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They don’t scare me I just cannot stand the taste and texture. It actually makes me want to vomit.
PlexSheep@infosec.pub 6 months ago
Which makes you scared of them, perhaps.
Also, have you seen how mycelium works and so on, the biology is amazing, but it’s also scary.

Funny you say this, there is actually a mushroom that does this color change but is edible. Allegedly doesn’t taste very good, though.
Best not to eat any wild mushrooms at all unless a verified mycologist can look at them first.

Scarletina bolete apparently tastes relatively decent. I haven’t tried it myself though.

I hate every mushroom I have ever tried- except shiitake mushrooms, which don’t taste like mushrooms and are amazing.

I’m literally 100% the opposite. Give me some morels, porcini, lions mane… anything but shiitake.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Sounds like we like/dislike them for the same reasons.
The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Does it grow in shiit? 😅

I remember years ago reading you can tell if a mushroom is “magic” by blotting it on paper towel and seeing if it stains blue or purple. Unfortunately, that is also how many things say you can tell it’s toxic. Maybe you’ll trip balls. Maybe you’ll die. 🤷🏻♂️

Maybe you’ll trip balls and THEN die!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the poison and the psychoactive part are the same thing in different doses, or just function similarly.

From what I heard in the past magic mushrooms are just mild food poisoning
shneancy@lemmy.world 6 months ago
you have heard wrong.
Mild food poisoning makes your tummy hurt and you feel a bit nauseous.
Magic mushrooms, depending on the dose, will either make you wonder the meaning of life or will bring god directly to you to ask, all the whilst fractals and wild shapes pulsate within the details of patterns.
