octopus stinkhorn

  Clathrus archeri is not known to be toxic, however, consuming this fungus would not be enjoyable. Due to the rotting stench of stinkhorns, culinary application is not a common thought. There is also no record of the fungus being treated as a delicacy.

  Lol. Damn near every fungi on Wikipedia has a toxicology section. But this one is busy like, No one would ever think about eating this so who fucking knows?

    All fungi are edible. Some are only edible once.

      Might be a hell of a trip though.

    So yeah, it’s likely no one has ever tried to eat one… but I feel pretty confident someone’s tried to fuck one.

    That’s crazy. There are people out there who intentionally rot meat in order to eat it, but this one comes pre-smelly and it’s not actually rotten and nobody eats it? That’s fucked up

      Omg if I came across that while hiking in the woods without knowing what it was, I would probably hightail it out of there, all the while looking back to make sure it wasn’t following me.

      How did you not run away screaming? Is this fungus common knowledge? I’ve never seen it and I am happy to have read this post before stumbling on this another dimension opening strawberry-red nightmare

  But are they edible?

  • agent_flounder@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Like anything, you can eat it at least once…

    source
  • selinson@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    German Wikipedia says it’s edible but it doesn’t taste good.

  • marduk@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Surely someone has tried?

    • s23b@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I’ve tried a close relative, the stinkhorn (aptly named phallus impudicus). While in the egg phase, the slimy outer layer can be peeled off. Then you cut the inside into thin wedges, and fry them in oil. They taste like earthier french fries. The stuff in the post I’ve only ever encountered in the mature stage, so I never got to try this recipe with them. Since they are very similar in most aspects, I’d guess the technique should work.
