I must not have opened this thread in a long time. Tapatalk takes you to the first post you have not read yet. I was replying to glatt finding that big gear and cutting his finger. I can't even find that post now.

I just started noticing little spots of blood on the things I was touching.

It's kinda cool though. It's going on my bookcase in my office. It's fairly massive. Feels like it weighs 15 pounds.

But my finger got sliced, so I'm mildly irritated.

So long ago, the finger is healed. Just a hint of flaky skin where the cut was.

Is it edible? Or are most of the pics of poisonous ones? (I know the morel is good to eat but don't know the others.)

Here as in most public forums, except when I am speaking to certain groups,
My default answer is ALL MUSHROOMS ARE POISONOUS.


However, according to Wiki -

"The young mushrooms, before the gills start to turn black, are edible. The taste is mild; cooking produces a large quantity of liquid. It can sometimes be used in mushroom soup with parasol mushroom. Large quantities of microwaved-then-frozen shaggy manes are delicious when used as the liquid component of risotto, replacing the usual chicken stock.

The agent responsible for unpleasant symptoms when consumed with alcohol, coprine, which is found in Coprinopsis atramentaria, has not been isolated from C. comatus"

My problem is that thee is a fine line, check that, there is a blurry fuzzy sorta smudge when things change from "edible" to what? "Inedible"? "Poisonous"? And what does poisonous mean? Deadly? Causes stomach upset, headaches, body-aches, dizzyness ... what? At what point?
You tell me. Have I eaten them? yes. Were they worth the "maybe" nope. I've got plenty of others to choose from and I get them in huge quantities without too much effort. Sorry for that aimless rant.

Top image - Some of what ended as 40lbs Hens harvested on my B-day. (Yes, there were other days.)

Bottom Image - Cleaned & Vacuum sealed Chickens - 13lbs.

However, according to Squirell Nutkin--

"All mushrooms are edible. Some of them, only once."

Gotta say I share Ortho's fungal apprehension but in terms of the harvesting and vacuum sealing*, you're a man after my own heart, Classic.

*Among other great qualities.

I can get behind the harvesting and vacuum sealing, but I don't quite understand why you would go through all that trouble for fungus. Berries, sure!
