Q. How do you tell them apart?
A. Digest and wait 6 hours.
i know it's a joke but
A: ask a professional first.
still unsure?
if at any step you noticed a bad thing happening - don't eat it
this is a general guide and i'm not a professional so like, don't blame the internet stranger if something goes wrong.
oh also - it doesn't work for the destroying angel, you have to memorise how that mf looks exactly and avoid it like hell - because if you eat as much as half a cap that's where it'll send you, hell, by melting your organs. there is no antidote and the symptoms can start as late as 24h after digestion. the only way we figured out how to keep those who ate it alive is heavy treatments, filtering their blood (liver and kidneys go first), and transplants. whenever i remember the destroying angel exists, i thank whatever god there may be that i just do not like mushrooms in general
I was waiting for a line with "it is now too old for safe consumption"
Oh my fucking god
It looks just like the edible white button mushroom
I had heard stories from my parents about people foraging for mushrooms in "the old country" (the Soviet Union), villagers from their province sometimes supplemented dwindling supplies with wild forest mushrooms.
They said they were invited multiple times to go on mushroom hunts but were afraid of traversing the forests after dusk, and they were glad they refused, because one large family served mushroom soup, and the menti (police/milita) found them all dead.
Parents, grandparents, children, an entire family generation wiped out by mushroom soup, all dead in their chairs in the dining room.
The toxin responsible for this is amatoxin
Yes... Yes you are...
Great comment.
I have 60 years worth of morel hunting behind me, yet I still got fooled by a few false morels about 5 years back, and it wasn't pleasant for a couple of days.
The two are actually very different, so I'm still puzzled about it.
That's a-morel!
