    There is a story about a family in switzerland that died because the father (a forager) collected death cap mushroom by accident and made a soup out of them. One kid survived because she had a flu which caused her to vomit out the soup with the death cap, before enough of the toxin reached her intestinal tract. The one time a flu actually saved someone from certain death.

    I remember when I was in second grade, there was a kid in our school who used to insist that the mushrooms you find on the ground are all exactly the same as the ones you see in the grocery store.
    I never knew the kid's name, I just met him once or twice at recess. But the image of him saying: "They're fine, see!" as he grabed some random mushrooms off the ground with complete confidence and eating them right there will be forever burned into my memory.

      it goes for plants and basically any other organism as well. it's just that mushrooms have this unhealthy appeal to people somehow. still, stay away from any parsley relative if you are not one bloody hundred percent certain what it is.
      also how for the love of everything under the sun does one mix up _M. procera_ and _A. phalloides?_
      then again you never know how it really happened. especially if they foraged with kids. it's important to sort of ritualise when it is allowed to even put _anything_ in the basket.

    In 1969 I spent the summer living in the woods of Southern Vermont. My diet was limited to mostly brown rice so to supplement it I would hunt the area for mushrooms. Fortunately, for mushrooms at least, it was a wet summer. There was a least a mushroom or two every square meter. I had a well illustrated mushroom book to guide me on my forays into the woods. However, I was so concerned about the dreadful "death caps" that stayed primarily to coral mushrooms. They were safe. They also cooked up rather well.

In the mushroom season we have a lot of mushroom picker from northern Saxony and there was a time when a lot of them didnt know about the Panter Cap and there were many accidents with it. Because of this here in Brandenburg Amanita pantherina has the nickname "Sachsentod" - "Saxons death"... 😇😉😅

      @@classicmatt6155 Your lack of imagination is truly astounding. Where did I indicate that we should use lab-created chemicals to test? But since anger has impaired your vision, THAT was your first assumption. Just as we could, had we the volition, use existing insects to control those we deem "pests" to crops, so too could we use existing plant or fungus-based chemicals to identify harmful compounds. The litmus-like paper could also be plant or fungus based, and biodegradable.

      @@TinaMcCall.TBH in reality, what you’re suggesting would at minimum require a chemistry lab, knowledge, and scientific breakthroughs. You need chemicals to make one reactive with a specific toxin, find which of each is needed with research and study. Yea, your idea, in theory would be great, but not realistic or feasible, especially if demanding it be biodegradable and such from the get go. Like start with, what toxin are looking for? Is it known? If so how tested for? What is chemistry unpinning it. The solution isn’t going to be fungus based, just because you want it to be your idea of ‘organic’, it will be what chemistry and knowledge dictates works.

    Back when I was a kid (I'm an old man now so sometime in the nineteen fifties) my father, as was his wont, purchased some old encyclopedias within which there was a section on death caps. It claimed the only cure was to consume raw rabbit intestines soon after eating the offending toadstool. The theory being that rabbits could eat that fungus with impunity since their intestines produced some chemical that rendered the toxins of a death cap harmless to a mammal. If you are faced with a slow and very unpleasant death perhaps eating raw rabbit intestines might seem OK i.e. the lesser of two alternatives.

    • @jwhite5008
      @jwhite5008 3 місяці тому

      Even if they did produce such chemical (was that ever studied?), and work in humans (which was most likely never tested properly), rabbits are much smaller than humans - so the amount will likely not be enough, and by the time it starts absorbing through the intestine it is probably already too late. When the symptoms appear it is already too late even intravenously. The only way that can "help" is cause vomiting - removing any toxin that is not in the intestine yet.
      Your only chance of survival is being airlifted to a hospital immediately.

    When i was a child I read in a survival guide that milk thistle can be used as an antidote, i just learned that it contains silymarin, wiki says Silibinin is an active constituent of Silymarin.
    I also found this...
    "Animal studies have found that milk thistle extract completely counteracts the toxic effects of the mushroom when given within 10 minutes of ingestion. If given within 24 hours, it significantly reduces the risk of liver damage and death."
    Interesting stuff :o that has pieced it all together to me as now i know why milk thistle works as an antidote

  • @evilsharkey8954
    @evilsharkey8954 4 місяці тому +2

    Silibinin can be used after poisoning begins. After they’re taken in by the liver, so amatoxins are dumped into the gallbladder, when then empties into the upper intestine, allowing it to poison you twice. The severity of the second poisoning can make a difference between whether you live, die, or live with a new liver.

    If you're a beginner to foraging I highly recommend joining one of the many online groups with Trusted Identifiers (mycologists) to have your finds identified BEFORE consuming. There are also species which do not have deadly lookalikes such as the abundant Lactarius Deliciosus found in pine forests. Also keep in mind that even edible species are full of bacteria and should be cooked well. Food poisoning is not at all uncommon with undercooked wild mushrooms.
