Also like a lot of things humans probably saw animals eating or avoiding certain plants and learned from them.

PhazonLink posted:i never read foraging guides about berries or other plants, but all the mushroom foraging ones also preface themselves with "yo find an expert or else." And even then. Every few years in the Bay Area we get (usually) Russian immigrants foraging mushrooms and eating Amanita phalloides, a.k.a. the death angel, because something similar that is not poisonous grows in Eastern Europe. Last time, extra unfortunately, they made mushroom soup for their private nursing home.

I worked in the government docs section of my college's university and consistently the most popular document was a mushroom growing and identifying guide. It was also a pretty popular orientation class that people took regardless of where they were in their college education.

That was something I learned the hard way. I was playing in the yard unsupervised as a 3yo, and ate a bunch growing in our yard. Yeah, highly toxic. Had my stomach pumped. I don't remember that- I remember being confused as why my Mom was yelling. We ate mushrooms all the time!

„Don’t pick gilled mushrooms if you don’t have an adult accompanying you” was something that was drilled into my skull since I was in kindergarten. Would still probably live by it if I got lost in a forest in autumn. That is, until I find one of the mushroom pickers that come into the forest at 5 amArsenic Lupin posted:And even then.

This is something that keeps happening and it’s mind boggling because we have death caps here, and what it’s supposedly mistaken for is the parasol mushroom which looks absolutely nothing alike

I pretty much drilled "You do NOT touch any mushroom you find. Get an adult." into my kids head. As delicious as a lot of them are there are also more than enough rear end in a top hat shrooms that give you a really bad time if you played around with them and then put your fingers into your mouth.

I was looking up amanitas, and I found the most wonderful phrase. When cooking wild mushrooms, Dr Lebel says, "leave half for the coroner".

The correct answer is to never pick mushrooms because they're gross. Why eat mushrooms when you can eat pizza instead?

Yeah, I was asked to consult on an AI mushroom identification app to inform eating decisions. I told them that the app should just say not to eat all mushrooms users submitted.

Because given the effort you need to go through to not die horribly I'm not sure its worth it if the mushrooms are anything below "cocaine and blowjobs" on the enjoyment index.

I don't really get how people poison themselves with mushrooms so often. Take a loving book or an app or something to help you identify the shrooms and don't just pick anything were you arent sure. 99% times when the book tells me "The delicious "Mouth loving sweet cap" is often confused with the "Head melting poison morel" " i look up the poison one and it looks, smells and feels completely different. Im pretty sure most who are "confused" are idiots who go out into the woods, pick some random mushrooms they find and just eat them because they are pretty sure the one they picked with grandpa 20 years ago were the same kind and they were great! Some deer gnawed on it so how poisonous can it really be! (Hint: Very!) Don't pick mushrooms you cant 100% identify! Thats a rule thats not that hard to remember! And if thats to much pressure then just buy some at the store. Gets you most of the fungi goodness without any of the risk!

You never see a fox who's just raided a henhouse in the woods later making GBS threads himself inside out going "GOD, I FORGOT RAW CHICKEN WAS A BAD IDEA" Honestly it's mostly a bad idea because we, humans, have hosed up chickens from birth since we keep them in horrible conditions. Same with nearly any livestock. They get parasites, sure, but it's mostly exacerbated by the fact that since birth they are kept in squalor. This is one of the reasons why you can have raw beef* or raw fish* but not raw chicken or pork. *read: kind of, mostly, because they are not kept in completely polluted confines mostly

God, can we just not link things like this unless it ends with these psychopaths getting decked, maced, tazed or shot? Because it's some loving infuriating poo poo to see them getting away with just making GBS threads all over other people without getting some just desserts.

At least the customer support person knows and admits it's insane. I've definitely had to tell clients to do dumb workarounds because someone else in another company hosed up. Seems unfair to put the person on blast when they're trying to help her get around Paypal's stupidity.
