Amanita virosa. You die in horrible pain.
Thanks! That was an interesting read.
Mushrooms are awesome and delicious. Foraging them is awesome too if you know your shit. Which i do not, so i buy mushrooms.
Shout out to that particular sub losing any and all meaning to what it's purpose was over the years
Started foraging mushrooms previous year. I'm alive so far.
Also met a deer while foraging. Didn't know they could bark. Scared the shit out of me.
Interesting how "scared shit out of me" sounds so much more literal than "scared the shit out of me".
Thanks, English is not my first language 😂
My favorite version of this is
Locally I know like five brown mushrooms that look similar, but I think I know which one’s the psychedelic one and which is going to kill you. Maybe I’m naive, and I haven’t put it into action.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Thanks to both of you! I really miss the mycology sub from the other place but not enough to go back.
I plucked these in my brother in laws backyard yesterday, and this post is now giving me doubts...
Edit: the picture of the morels I found is not uploading for some reason... But yeah, I'm like 99.99% sure they are morels.
You can DM the picture to me if you like.
Don you maybe have a mushroom consultation in your town? Don't know where you are from, but in Europe many countries have them and they can help you not to kill yourself.
Bruh it can be so dangerous, I search for poisonous mimics of (mushroom). And honestly if a mushroom has too many poisonous mimics or toxic species of the same family, I just won't try to harvest it.
So far Oyster mushrooms are just about the safest to spot and harvest, I don't live in an area with chicken or hen of the woods, which is also pretty easy to identify.

Morels do have a few toxic cousins, so be careful.
When I was a kid we would have yearly morel hunts. My uncles were always scouting the neighbors' woods, and once morels were sighted we'd sneak onto their property and gather bags of 'em. We'd usually get about 10 pounds between the six of us cousins. Then Grandma would fry them up and we'd feast.
One year I ate at least a pound by myself. That night I got so violently ill I thought I would die. I never ate morels again.
Now you have me wondering if one of us picked a not-morel and I was the unlucky one who ate it.
That's wild! The article mentions it a bit but based on your comment I did more research, black morels or morels in general can cause really bad gastro issues.
Most articles and papers say is they are undercooked or just eating a ton of them like you did can cause what you felt on it's own. You didn't even have to eat a false morel! I had no idea, good to know!
There is also sometimes an interaction with alcohol.
You could try uploading to imgur and then just linking it.
Could always get into growing them instead.

I would put these in my D&D campaign.
Just follow standard survival advice. Don't forage for mushrooms. Starving to death is better than poisoning yourself and starving to death.
