  • Watch to the end to see a cameo from @🍄Mushroom Auntie🍄 Here is a visual guide to identifying edible Chanterelles (Cantharellus) and Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus) compared with the toxic Jack O’Lanterns (Omphalotus). Both Chanterelles and Chicken of the Woods MUST be cooked thoroughly otherwise they are mildly toxic to consume. Always be careful when tasting wild edible mushrooms for the first time, you never know how your body will react. It is a good idea to try a small bite or two and wait ~20-30 minutes before tasting more, just make sure your body doesn’t react badly. Happy foraging and remember you can upload your photos to iNaturalist for help with identification!

    I’m having a problem identifying a mushroom in my backyard and I have five dogs. I keep picking them and throwing them away so my dogs don’t eat them. I’m not sure if it’s Falsa or Deathcap or what so if anybody can reach out I’ll pay you for helping me identifying please !!!!❤️🐶

      Upload you Mushroom photos to iNaturalist.org for help with identification. If that doesn’t help you figure it out, you can send me pics on IG or Discord

      Yes, it often does due to containing oxalic acid. Be sure to cook it well

      Try uploading your photos to iNaturalist.org for help with identification. If that doesn’t get it sorted, then you can DM me on IG with a picture
