You mention they are no good for eating due to the possible wood treatment. I wonder is this something you know to be true or is it an intuition? Reason I ask is COTW when growing on yew is now thought to be safe (as far as I know) and I wondered if the mechanism by which the fungi metabolised the substrate was different in each case?
So essentially it is a case of knowing what the tretment is. If it contains any metals or metaloids (copper, arsenic etc) then it can be bioaccumulated. If it is entirely components/compounds of organic origin (tar etc) then it can't. Since I don't know what is in the treatments I don't eat, but if possible to check, that is what you are looking for. (thanking Patrick Björck for always writing the most succinct pieces on these things so I can check 😁 )
I definitely love your voice I also love oyster mrooms I m a crazy guy and I would eat one small one and a few days later I would pick the biggest and try since I wouldn’t have a stomachache or something else 😊
I love how thorough your videos are, & your voice is incredibly soothing.
Enough people have said the same that I am currently recording for a whole new channel doing sleep stories 😂 glad you like the content too. 😊

A different situation, will see if I can find you some solid info 😊

@@Petrichor_ecology thanks so much Iona. Really appreciate you taking the time to explain that. Makes perfect sense to me.
I definitely love your voice
