Holy cow, I actually got them all right! There was one where I thought maybe they were both toxic, but I thought "if I had to choose one that's edible..." and it turned out to be right. I'm not a big mushroom eater but I love taking pictures of them when I go for walks. haha
the reason im watching these kind of videos is so that i can determine a safe mushroom from our local forest and check out if it's a psychedelic shroom😆
Both the Morel and the Verpa can give the Morel Syndrome (as every mushroom in the morella family). But from my expirience its more likely to get it when you eat large amounts, undercooked or not entirely fresh mushrooms. Because of the many crevisces of these Mushrooms its hard too see if theres mold forming on the cap. i always get ~10% moldy caps when im foraging for them and often its hard to see it.
I'm a recreational mushroom forager, and I knew every mushroom in that video, even the ones I haven't seen in the wild before (matsutake, verpa, death cap). They picked a bunch of easily-identifiable mushrooms. The ones that scare me at the LBMs - little brown mushrooms. I can't tell them apart at all. Some are delicious, some will kill you. I avoid them all.
I knew the fly agaric, morel, and the brain looking one. I've actually found one and debated picking it thinking it may be a misshapen morel, good thing I didn't! I didn't know about that other one that looks almost IDENTICAL to the morel, that's scary. I thought I would recognize the death cap(destroying angel)but I missed it, usually the pics are of taller, whiter ones with a flatter canopy. Oops! Guess I'm dead.
Sadly, death caps kill dogs all the time. Dog owners need to be extremely vigilant and aware of what is constantly growing in their yards, because just one poisonous mushroom can kill a 50 lb. dog within hours! You need to search your yard every day because they pop up very quickly. You may not see anything now, but when you check later, there they are. Some look like typical mushrooms (amanita), but others are hard to see in the dirt because they are brown, like potatoes (earthballs), and light purple inside. You need to remove the complete root so they don't grow back, so don't just pull them up and forget about them.
I always wanted to take a micology course, a lot of people in rural areas in Eastern Europe and Russia die because it is common to go out and pick mushrooms based on oral knowledge passed on by friends or relatives. Without any professional supervision, they simply cook, eat and hope not to die.
I was only able to identify the matsutake and the very last amanita. I guess I had a nice soup and a trip. Then I died because I missed all the others.
Vancouver, BC's fall show is all about mushrooms, in the land of mushrooms. Every one of a couple of hundred varieties are collected in BC and show up at the show, poisonous or not. The lawn grounds of the Squamish Hospital has one group of the largest Amanita I've ever seen. At least you're close to the hospital.
Two things have kept me from going horizontal. One, a grandma who took me mushroom hunting when I was a child. Second, know which mushrooms only grow in your neck of the woods. Then, don't share you favourite spots with others as there's more for you.
is that the same as the "white widow"? pencil stem, chalk white with a knife edge, usually single, often in lawns, and the cap usually about silver dollar size??? 2 kinds of killing chems. related to BREATHING.
I correctly identified them all, and definitely got the last one. That one's pretty solidly famous. Then again, I love the little fungi, so I didn't have any trouble. There's quite a nice little bed of shaggy manes on campus that fruit from time to time, and those are extremely fun to photograph.
@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki Heh, I hope I won't need to visit the Squamish Hospital Emergency Department, but I'll try to keep that in mind in case I do (and I'm not the patient). 🤣
Fly Agaric (Amanita Muscaria) is not that toxic as represented. Eating one cap at most will increase salivation and give some relaxation. Eating 3-5 caps will induce delirious trip. Death may occur after eating about 15 caps. But be aware number of consumed caps is not definite for described effects. Effects may vary depending on cap size, region, season and weather conditions they grew. There is also Amanita Pantherina which depending on grew conditions may be very similar to Fly Agaric, but it contains more Ibotenic acid and Muscimol. Fried in butter Fly Agaric is very delicious btw.
I've read some shamans feed the Muscaria to a cow then drink their urine, filtering most of the bad while keeping the trip. I'd rather use it as a trippy decoration. Glad to found I still remember my mushrooms, we used to go often as a kid. I remember being pretty confused by some of the russulas.
I used to eat shrooms often in washington State. Often when hiking in high school. My favorite trip of all time was Amanita muscaria (one up mushroom). And still remember it vividly. We used a percolator and boiled crawdads from the creek with the shroom in the water. It turned black as night and only took half an ounce with an hour wait time. I recommend trying it but be very careful!
I only know a few, but those few which I can distinguish from any other mushrooms . I only collect the ones that I know and I am hundred percent about.
there a very common white pencil stemmed mushroom in lawns in the lower mainland of BC called "white widow" as it has not one, but two very dangerous effects, both related to BREATHING. It's killed dogs. So, if you Vancouver Asian wife has just done up a nice plate of mushroom chow mein but doesn't want any herself, she's now a widow. Hence the name.
Q2 mushrooms all get eaten in southern Illinois. I myself do not eat b mainly because I was told they can make you sick if you eat raw or just too many. I thought "I can down a gallon of morels and nothing. So what's the point? Taste"?
As long as you have a good(make sure it's not dated before the 90's) field guide, you can safely forage mushrooms in the woods. The good news is that there are only a few mushrooms that can actually kill you. The vast majority of poisonous mushrooms will only make you sick(although if you eat Jack O' Lantern mushrooms you'll wish you'd die from them after vomiting).
When I was a park ranger, the best fungi foragers came from Czech Republic and neighboing nations! They also were some of the better freshwater anglers, too! 👍
The Amanita Muscaria is actually toxic if you get the dosage wrong. It's a pretty brutal trip in the first place. Meaning it is really intense, has some really weird and disgusting side effects, and will make you question if you are alive. As I am a Biology degree holder, I'm pretty amazed and amused someone who doesn't know this is posting it online despite the potential lawsuits.
@@PHillAnd you are not a Biologist or Mycologist so you intended slight fell back on you.

I said shiitake and deathcap, so I was close I think - positively identified a morell over the others. In life I have positively identified field blewits (lepista personata), common puffball and blue oyster mushrooms.
Ironically , the blue poison mushroom in Mario actually looks like the indigo milk cap, which is totally edible, albeit it's a little too bitter for most. As for the one up mushroom, it resembles the green cracking russula, which is also edible and said to taste nutty, fruity, mild or Sweet
My son collected magic mushrooms last autumn and dried them. Then he had them over time. I would rather go get a job and have never touched any drug because beer and women combined with living a honest life working hard and paying my taxes is enough to given me a buzz outa life.

Many brightly coloured plants are safe to eat and many very unassuming plants aren't- ust like I wouldn't eat random plants I am unfamiliar with, I don't eat mushrooms I am not familiar with either- I'd encourage people to go out more and learn about their surroundings- just don't eat anything you cannot identify as edible- kinda good advice wherever you go.

I got them all correct, actually knew what type of mushrooms they all were. I was surprised they never mentioned the destroying angel
the destroying Angel is a much bigger problem in the UK not so prominent as the death cap is in the US
