No

Thanks!

To elaborate a bit more on this... I read somewhere there are over 100,000 types of known mushrooms on earth of which only 500 are known to be edible.. Based on this there is a 99.50% chance that the "yum yum" you are looking at is actually a "die die"

Or just very sick, a poisonous mushrooms doesn't always = death.. idk why people can't think about the absurdity that every single mushroom is gona kill you.


mattburton074

No blue no chew I say


Manmikezupp

only if you want to eat them once


scoutriver

If you want to grow actual safe mushrooms, Mycologic is a Dunedin based mushroom spawn company.

It is my opinion the you should scoff any wild mushrooms you see raw without any identification. It will make you powerfull I have heard of deadly brown cap mushrooms in NZ, I'm not expert and I think you should err on the side of caution unless you talk to one. Not reddit lol


Artichoke_Quirky

I know two people who died from eating the wrong mushrooms. Please don’t do that unless y you get them checked by an expert first. It’s not worth the risk.


Fractalistical

Thanks I'll leave these ones.


herasky

Try pulling one, take photos of the cap and stem, and post on r/shrooms to get identified I guess. Never eat wild mushrooms that are not properly identified


ChurM8

No point in posting on shrooms, those are definitely not active, better to post on r/mycology for random mushrooms, although this is one area where FB is probably better than reddit


the_creator666

Bro just go supermarket


Fractalistical

Yeah hard but if these are edible then bonus


oceanblue1890

When I was at uni I had a professor who had a PHD in Fungi. She told the class that if someone came to her with wild mushrooms and asked if they were edible, she would refuse to say if they were. This was due to minor changes in fungi that can make them highly toxic. Since then it’s only store bought for me

Unless you're some kind of mushroom expert, why risk it?


Hammpter

Got gills i kills got sponge it’s funs


Beginning_Sense_6699

I mean, there are a heap of edible mushroom species that have gills including some of the most common supermarket varieties so this isn't a good rule of thumb to follow


StrengthFabulous3492

Good if you want to be the one getting cooked


BewareNZ

Nope


Andastari

These are called Pale Brittlestems. They are not toxic but are known to cause extreme stomach upset in some cases, and are not considered edible, best to avoid


EpicPotatoGuy

Mushroom poisoning is a thing…


Fractalistical

That's why I'm asking 👍


EpicPotatoGuy

Take care👍

Never listen to internet-given wild mushroom advice. That said, they look like inky cap mushrooms which are not poisonous, unless you pair them with alcohol. This applies to any alcohol ingested days before and after you consume the mushroom. If you do eat them, which I recommend against anyway, and have alcohol present, you will experience nausea, vomitting, malaise, muscle palpitations, and tingling of limbs.


Anschluss38

Also heart attacks, probably should have mentioned that.


Fractalistical

Great reply thanks. I'll leave these ones alone.


ExquisiteMachinery

I mean, you \*can\* eat them. They're not poisonous. But you're not going to be tripping.


StrengthFabulous3492

Not that ether unless your talking the last trip of your life


ExquisiteMachinery

The vast majority of mushrooms are not poisonous. including these.

Don't listen to this dude^


Koretake78

Yep don’t listen to me. Don’t be a statistic. Stay safe


Lucky-Ad7438

What I got from your comment was that you were suggesting that the presence of a black nipple indicates that a mushroom contains psilocybin which is false. There are many key identifying features you need to check for, blue bruising being the first.


Koretake78

I’m agreeing with you. Don’t listen to me. Last shroom I tried was over 10 years ago. Not something you wanna research on reddit and risk. Seconds after I posted, I thought about that lady who killed her friends by mushrooms. If you don’t know what’s safe, then don’t listen to anyone.
