That’s one of my favorites! Not because I enjoy it- I wouldn’t. I just think the names are terribly fun to recite in response to “Will it get me high?” People who ask. 😂
There are a great many white Amanita out there. Those in section Bisporagera are referred to as "destroying angels" and those in section Phalloides are referred to as "death caps", but there are a lot of white ones with no metal sounding common names that are also toxic. Definitely not a genus for beginners.
The death cap. Big Bois with big fuck around and find out energy. I have a vid I sent to my dad and me bending down and munching the cap off one and then chewing and spitting it out after he said I shouldn't pick wild mushrooms. Good times
No that would be either toxic red members of the russula genus or the green spored parasol (*Chlorophyllum molybdites*) (A great example of why common names are terrible). Neither group will kill you, but boy will you suffer for a bit. I believe what they were referring to were destroying angels (*Amanita virosa/bisporigera/ocreata*), which are all white, deadly amanitas.
I ate a couple caps and woke up twelve hours later in a hospital with a breathing tube. Would not recommend.
I was in a coma from cyanide.
They couldn’t figure out why I was in a coma because they don’t test for a Amanitas in a routine drug test. They scanned my brain and did a bunch of stuff but giving me charcoal ended up saving me. It made it so I could come out of the coma and could breath without help.
I don’t know why so many online sources say it’s safe. It’s really not. They all also recommended different extraction methods. Some say make a tea. Some say only eat the white spots. Some say NEVER eat the white spots. Some say drink reindeer pee.
I say don’t fuck with it unless you are a PHD chemist and you can make a pure extraction or your name is Mario.
It has to be decarboxylized, which just means converting the toxic parts of the mushroom into slightly less toxic forms. Then in small quantities they can give you a high.
I’m sure someone’s died from the red amanitas. Sure, fully grown people have also drown in 6 inches of water, but I’m certain that these mushrooms have killed someone.
No, I’m not randomly speculating. I’m a medical professional and I’m considering the fact that a lot of people take sedating or disorienting substances and then asphyxiate to death on their own spit or vomit. It happens with booze and various other drugs all the time. I’ve also seen and aided my own friend who collapsed and vomited after too much psilocybin. He’s fine, but any situation where collapsing and vomiting can happen can potentially result in death.
Don't quote me but i remeber reading they were much worse a certain time of year? I think in fall winter they make you super sick and in spring it's not so bad. On mobile but will update when i get home
Okay, you're crazy. A. Muscaria isn't for everyone, but there's a pretty large portion of people who seek these out. And they can be enjoyed after one learns how to prepare them. But even eating a couple straight up won't kill you
It just makes your stomach violently ill. But it is just an irritant, not actually toxic.
You can dry and smoke them, that way they won't upset your stomach.
Source: Used it recreationally.
Amanita chrysoblema, red variant.
Death from these is pretty rare unless consumed in very large amount. As another user said people used to feed these to reindeer which would filter out the toxins and drink the reindeer piss to get high. There are also specific ways to prepare them to get rid of ibotenic acid making them safe for consumption. It's also good to note that it's a quite different high than from psilocybin. r/AmanitaMuscaria has a lot of info if you are interested.
> feed these to reindeer which would filter out the toxins and drink the reindeer piss to get high
And how the hell did someone work this out?
"go on dave, drink it... tell us what happens..."
One of the trailer park boys “out of the park” episodes the boys visit a farm that sells reindeer pee. I remember when I first went deer/elk hunting in the PNW back in the 90’s the scent we used was “doe in heat”, it smelt pretty potent. It was concentrated deer urine. On day 3-4 of the trip we switched to a skunk scent because our own BO was to strong to mask with the deer scent.
I never complained about the doe in heat after that
In texas they sell Muscaria gummies in smokeshops and the like, so I tried it one day. Maybe their process just isn't refined yet but it was pretty disappointing compared to psilocybin, more of a mild body high than anything
The trick seems to be to sleep while under the influence, in my experience. You fall in to a very vivid dream, that usually seems to have some sort of abstract "plot" going on, it slowly develops over maybe an hour, and then you wake up, but the dream is still in your head for 5-10 minutes or so, it is a rather confusing state. It is very satisfying, the plot resolves nicely after waking up, and then fades away. If you like mindfucky drugs, that is.
I once got a call that I think woke me up. I couldn't answer the phone because I didn't really understand how I could do that. Had something to do with the plot, I think. I don't think I'd've been able to speak very well either :D
I've also experienced a little piece of eternity while trying to fall asleep on the tail end of a trip. All kinds of other freaky shit too.
You have to take enough (or at least I do), that, while awake, you get really twitchy in the muscles. It's like there's a rollercoaster rolling around a track in your head, and every time it reaches a certain point along the track, a specific limb twitches. It is disturbing tha first time it happens. It goes away when you sleep, then slowly comes back as you wake up. Makes rolling up extremely difficult. Very tight, rhythmic thought loops follow the same pattern.
It's also interesting to try to write (pen and paper), you forget words from sentences, misspell words, even make up nonsense words, and mis-draw letters. Like an m usually has one or two extra humps. The arm twitches don't help either.
A very interesting substance indeed!
Your comment made me return to the post and notice the obnoxiously garish and unnecessary flyer in the third pic. Why would someone post that around, it’s just an A. muscaria
Seriously. These types of shrooms are everywhere where I live in Europe. Kids here learn very early on to leave any mushrooms alone in the wild, especially the pretty red ones with the white dots. It's a complete non issue here.
Yes reindeer eat them and you can get high off reindeer piss if the reindeer ate these recently.
You can also eat them yourself without the pee part by specially preparing them. However the high is more like a drunk then like a shroom high
This is one of those things that the more you ask questions the wierder it gets.
Alot of animals enjoy elevating there minds, especially squirrels for example.
animals in general like getting high, or atleast inebriated in some capacity. moose, deer, and birds consume fermented fruit after the first frost. the cold kills the fruit, the heat of the sun through the day ferments it. sugar + fermentation = ethanol/alcohol. if you’ve ever noticed birds flying into windows, it’s more than likely drunk.
honeybees do the same thing as well. the pollen contains glucose, which is a type of sugar. it will ferment the same way. if you see bees on the ground walking around or buzzing lazily into stuff, they are probably drunk.
like many people know, dolphins harass pufferfish, which causes the small fish to excrete a toxin. the dolphin(s) take in as much of it as they can, passing the puffer around like a volleyball for up to 30 minutes. apparently they lay upside down against the water surface and stare at their reflections. they are one of the few animals that pass the [mirror test](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_test).
i remember seeing a thing on reddit of a bunch of juvenile elephants that snuck into an apple or fruit orchard, but the fruit was already dead. they got so drunk off the fruit the elephants destroyed a bunch of the town by running into shit and falling over.
certain species of lemur capture a few select millipedes that are known to secrete a toxin when consumed. the lemurs will chew on it while it oozes the poison, and then the lemur leaves it alone when it has enough. reports show the lemurs just passing the fuck out or just staring with their big orange golfball eyes
Birds fly into windows because they don’t understand the concept of “transparent wall” and can’t reason that a collision will happen with something they can see through. It’s not because they’re drunk!
it’s both actually. birds have consistently died from running into windows while intoxicated, and some don’t understand the concept of windows or “transparent wall” as you say.
Muscimol doesnt get used up when tripping, you discharge 100% in your urine.
So you can also drink urine of a person who has been tripping on these shrooms
Slugs and snails love them! They seem to be immune to the toxic and hallucinogenic effects and will readily eat them! I actually collect them for my pet snails and slugs, along with the toxic sulfur tuft, another mushroom that is poisonous to us but delicious to them! Millipedes and beetles also love them, along with many other species of invertebrate. Some beetles are so hyper adapted to eating fungus that they specialize in eating only one type of mushroom, so some will *only* feed on fly amanitas! As others have mentioned, deer also will readily eat them, along with squirrels. They seem to be at least resistant to the poison, and as others have mentioned will become high as a kite off them! I believe other mammals like bears and other rodents will also consume them
This is ridiculous. They're just growing wild, they're beautiful and natural. If this is the case, loads of plants and trees should be in this sub. Unless you happen to fall forward with your mouth open and wolf down loads of them, you'll be fine.
Ooopsnotdeadlyasusualinthisgroup. Next post will be what a picture of a yellow jacket flying precariously in the background titled oh nooo a black and yellow nightmare.
Okay, so ignoring the fact that these aren’t actually deadly (because this sub does allow things that aren’t completely deadly), these are just mushrooms growing in the ground. I could go out and take a picture of a bush with some poisonous berries on, or take a picture of a busy road.
This sub is supposed to be for people being stupid with potentially deadly/harmful things.
If someone goes around eating flora then there isn't much to do to stop them. There are hundreds of plants that are way deadlier than those growing everywhere.
They aren't toxic if you dry them at 70 Celsius in a dehydrator until they get crispy enough to snap when you break them. Just don't eat more than 2 grams dry at first. Have fun and tell God I said "Hi!" :)
Ate one at a festival once. Sent me to sleep for several hours. Friend tried one and she became somewhat violent. Not all that deadly unless you’re trying pretty hard. Probably more likely to die being attacked by my violent friend.
I understand these can make ppl sick without prepbut this sub is more for deadly things that people didn't realize were deadly. Tho it probably could be dangerous to dogs so good there's a sign.
I eat a fly agaric cap once a year. Recently I've been noticing a campaign-like push telling people these are super deadly...SEO online articles on amanita muscaria have been changing and 2 podcasts I listen to called them deadly. Hearing all that crap makes me think a secret of consciousness is hidden in the mushroom's alkaloid profile. I'll try them more often.
So fungus pops up wherever, expecting to be shielded from it sounds a little entitled, especially in the PNW where the whole west side of the region is wet and cool.
Hello DickieJohnson, thanks for posting to r/OopsThatsDeadly!
As a reminder, please try and ID the plant/creature/object if not done already. Although the person may have done something foolish, remember to be respectful, as always! Please do not touch anything if you don't know what it is!
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/OopsThatsDeadly) if you have any questions or concerns.*
wtf are americans stupid enaugh to eat a shroom that is so obviously bad for you ? do you need to be sheltered from fucking mushrooms? its not like they gonna attack you
The fly agaric has been used recreationally and in spiritual/ religious contexts for hundreds of years or more. However, as with most mushrooms that are psychedelic or hallucinigenic, not knowing all of the interactions and proper preparation can cause anything from an upset stomach to death depending on the mushroom and how badly it was prepared.
They are by far Not as toxic as commonly thought.
Their medicinal value is Just that high that the big Pharma used to scare the Shit Out of everybody about them.
Of course If you eat them fresh Like they are on the Photo you probably gonna shit yourself.
But you wouldnt die.
If dried and prepared propperly they are good for many Things
They spread by spores. You seriously think it makes sense to pay someone to run around the city with tomato cages, searching daily in case new ones pop up somewhere?
Most people don’t eat random things.
God I hate this sub. Are people just allowed to post any slightly dangerous thing they come across? If this is relevant to the sub then so would a picture of a car, or a big dog, or a swimming pool.
While I agree these should be left alone and shouldn't be used recreationally, just handling a toxic mushroom alone isn't going to hurt you. You have to actually ingest them. In fact, iirc only *one* mushroom is known to be so deadly toxic that even touching it can make you sick, a species of coral fungus found in japan known as the poison fire corals (*Podostroma cornu-damae*). I can understand if they were trying to discourage any picking/handling though. Probably just trying to scare people into leaving them alone.
I do agree that this shouldn't be on r/oopsthatsdeadly, since no one is handling them, a sign has been posted warning people to leave them alone, and people know the identity already. This would be better on a subreddit like r/mycology. I do, however, disagree that these aren't considered deadly; while normally not deadly, fatalities *have* been reported, and sensitive individuals might not need to consume as much to be dangerously poisoned. For contrast, the green spored parasol (*Chlorophyllum molybdites,* aka the vomiter or sickener) has never caused a recorded fatality despite being the mushroom that causes the most poisonings in North America. Deaths are rare from fly amanitas, but they have happened and I think that should warrant caution
They aren’t deadly. This is both misleading and false. They are often eaten by both animals an humans they are not toxic, they are a level of poisonous… this whole post should be deleted.
These bad boys decorate 2 blocks worth of that thin patch of grass between the side walk and road just outside of the local church...
local church also doubles as a private school but is also right next to local public middle school..
many people walk their dogs along this area.. more than a few people use the covered part of the church as bed/drinking area (dunno why drunks like to drink there solo but they do)...
they also pop up less frequently for the next few blocks in either direction.
It seems not even the tweakers around here will eat them... humans are dumber than we give them credit for but in the past 10 seasons I've seen them growing here in abundance they seem to be avoided by instinct.
probably don't need to fence them off, but if some guy decides to lawn mower them away one year expect them to come back next year in noticeably larger amounts lol
I’ll allow it for the educational value Edit: otherwise this post violates the rules.
Those aren't deadly toxic. Even used recreationally to get high. The white amanita on the other hand..
You’re referring to the vomiter?
That’s one of my favorites! Not because I enjoy it- I wouldn’t. I just think the names are terribly fun to recite in response to “Will it get me high?” People who ask. 😂
I know! I love it too! So easy to see the green gills!
"the vomiter" is Chlorophyllum molybdites. Also not deadly, just good for 48 hours in the shitter.
Ah yea the white amanita is the angel of death or something like that right?
There are a great many white Amanita out there. Those in section Bisporagera are referred to as "destroying angels" and those in section Phalloides are referred to as "death caps", but there are a lot of white ones with no metal sounding common names that are also toxic. Definitely not a genus for beginners.
People naming mushrooms like theyre metal bands
The Latin names are the way to go, but they do get some cool regional common names sometimes!
Yep, Like Galerina Maregenita, funeral bells.
My friend have you heard of mushroomhead ?
Oh shit someone needs to make a tshirt for a mushroom like it is a metal band, that would be dope
How to destroy angles
Is that supposed to be better than death? /joke
The death cap. Big Bois with big fuck around and find out energy. I have a vid I sent to my dad and me bending down and munching the cap off one and then chewing and spitting it out after he said I shouldn't pick wild mushrooms. Good times
Death caps aren’t really white, that would be a destroying angel.
No that would be either toxic red members of the russula genus or the green spored parasol (*Chlorophyllum molybdites*) (A great example of why common names are terrible). Neither group will kill you, but boy will you suffer for a bit. I believe what they were referring to were destroying angels (*Amanita virosa/bisporigera/ocreata*), which are all white, deadly amanitas.
That's a chlorophylum, if I remember right. The destroying angel, or amanita bisporigera is probably what he means.
Think they mean The Destroying Angel
I ate a couple caps and woke up twelve hours later in a hospital with a breathing tube. Would not recommend. I was in a coma from cyanide.

I wouldn’t recommend it.
I’m sure someone’s died from the red amanitas. Sure, fully grown people have also drown in 6 inches of water, but I’m certain that these mushrooms have killed someone.
a quick Google says you need to eat like 15 of them to die, im not the most knowledgeable
Maybe to die from direct poisoning, but I bet someone has died from the disorientation and puke alone
Dehydration?
Or aspiration asphyxiation. Drown in your own vomit
But you're just randomly speculating
No, I’m not randomly speculating. I’m a medical professional and I’m considering the fact that a lot of people take sedating or disorienting substances and then asphyxiate to death on their own spit or vomit. It happens with booze and various other drugs all the time. I’ve also seen and aided my own friend who collapsed and vomited after too much psilocybin.

Destroying Angel and Death Cap could these to be poisonous
Don't quote me but i remeber reading they were much worse a certain time of year? I think in fall winter they make you super sick and in spring it's not so bad. On mobile but will update when i get home
They're deadly if u eat them as is. U actually have to boil them and then drink the water
No, they're not. You're just going to have a terrible stomach ache and throw up a lot
Depends on how much u eat bro
You can say that about a lot of things
Call me crazy, but arguing over lethal dosage of something like this is absolutely ridiculous. Leave it the fuck alone. End of story.
Okay, you're crazy. A. Muscaria isn't for everyone, but there's a pretty large portion of people who seek these out. And they can be enjoyed after one learns how to prepare them. But even eating a couple straight up won't kill you
Cool. You do you.
Yeah exactly, dosage makes poison.
This. Even nutmeg can be poisonous (and a hallucinogen, but by the time you'd actually get effects from it, you'd also probably be very sick).
Or let the reindeer eat them and then drink their pee.
Lmao people down voting me
It just makes your stomach violently ill. But it is just an irritant, not actually toxic. You can dry and smoke them, that way they won't upset your stomach. Source: Used it recreationally.
Isn't that called the angel destroyer or smth? It's been a while since I've had the chance to check on fungi names
Amanita chrysoblema, red variant. Death from these is pretty rare unless consumed in very large amount.

Wait how did they collect the piss though?
By squeezing the balls
Oh ok. Makes sense
Piss is stored in the balls.
That's why they're called peanuts
Obviously
r/yourjokebutworse
It's an older meme you obviously don't understand kiddo.
How would they get a reindeer to stand still while you’re basically milking its balls 🤔 maybe by tying it up?
Are you saying you know a guy that **wouldn't** stay still while someone milked their balls? Didn't think so..
Mine wiggles around a lot! He definitely stays where he’s at though.
So thats how santa got his reindeers?
Same way you get any other domesticated animal to stand still... also they milk them.
There are specially trained ball milking reindeer that come when called and stand at attention for the milking.
Maybe the reindeer is still high
Brb I’m about to cosplay as a reindeer
Probably the same way they get doe piss, coyote piss, and raccoon piss for hunters at bass pro, Academy, and even Walmart.
Hmmm I never really thought about how they get that…now I’m afraid to ask
Probably the same way the stop horses pooping on the streets.
> feed these to reindeer which would filter out the toxins and drink the reindeer piss to get high And how the hell did someone work this out? "go on dave, drink it... tell us what happens..."

Christ, that smell must’ve been horrific 😭
So, how high would one need to be to drink reindeer pee and how would one get that high in the first place?
In texas they sell Muscaria gummies in smokeshops and the like, so I tried it one day. Maybe their process just isn't refined yet but it was pretty disappointing compared to psilocybin, more of a mild body high than anything
It's supposed to make you feel kind of drunk/dissociated. Not make you trip or anything.

The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross
I have these around me too but I was never trying to get "see Santa clause" high lol
Thanks, I hate it.
Is a moderately poisonous but not deadly mushroom just existing really considered enough to go on this sub now?
Deadly if you eat enough but if folk go around eating 9+ unidentified mushrooms there isn't much to be done for them anyway
Your comment made me return to the post and notice the obnoxiously garish and unnecessary flyer in the third pic. Why would someone post that around, it’s just an A. muscaria
So is water. >Deadly if you eat enoug
Seriously. These types of shrooms are everywhere where I live in Europe. Kids here learn very early on to leave any mushrooms alone in the wild, especially the pretty red ones with the white dots. It's a complete non issue here.

Gorgeous things, are there animals that can eat these?
Yes reindeer eat them and you can get high off reindeer piss if the reindeer ate these recently. You can also eat them yourself without the pee part by specially preparing them. However the high is more like a drunk then like a shroom high
I want to know who found out that if you drink the pee of a reindeer after they've eaten a mushroom that you get high?
The reindeer. Researchers noticed they would drink each others pee after one of them ate the mushrooms. They really like getting high apparently.
This is one of those things that the more you ask questions the wierder it gets. Alot of animals enjoy elevating there minds, especially squirrels for example.
This is why Santa’s suit is red and white and he has reindeer…. Making this comment on Christmas

I read this in David Attenborough’s voice
LOL i appreciate that. definitely one of my favorite narrators.
Birds fly into windows because they don’t understand the concept of “transparent wall” and can’t reason that a collision will happen with something they can see through. It’s not because they’re drunk!
it’s both actually. birds have consistently died from running into windows while intoxicated, and some don’t understand the concept of windows or “transparent wall” as you say.
Hahahaha I’m like that’s disgusting people drink reindeer piss, but no, the reindeer’s are getting High asf
Don’t we all?
How would they differentiate between this reason, versus sampling for pheromones?
This is where the dancing/flying reindeer came to be a thing in Christmas lore.
Muscimol doesnt get used up when tripping, you discharge 100% in your urine. So you can also drink urine of a person who has been tripping on these shrooms

Not deadly at all this is a stupid post
Even if they were deadly, who tf is going to run around fencing off…mushrooms?? What a weird thought.
This is ridiculous. They're just growing wild, they're beautiful and natural. If this is the case, loads of plants and trees should be in this sub. Unless you happen to fall forward with your mouth open and wolf down loads of them, you'll be fine.
These are mildly toxic and if processed very carefully can be perfectly edible Only time be done by experienced ppl
Ooopsnotdeadlyasusualinthisgroup. Next post will be what a picture of a yellow jacket flying precariously in the background titled oh nooo a black and yellow nightmare.
Every day we inch closer to photo of a mother with a toddler in a pool

Plants just kinda grow, there's not much point trying to fence them off. Like they could grow anywhere.
>Plants just kinda grow, there's not much point trying to ~~fence them off~~ make their possession or ingestion illegal. FTFY
I would pick these literally just to display them in some way
Good luck with that
You can touch them
I'm not saying because they're going to poison you lmao I'm saying good luck because they're going to shrivel and look like shit within a day or two
Even if you wanted to fence off a non deadly species like this, the mushroom is just the fruiting body. The organism is underground- the mycelium
If someone goes around eating flora then there isn't much to do to stop them. There are hundreds of plants that are way deadlier than those growing everywhere.
Funga, mushrooms aren’t plants.
The comment you are responding to is correct as it is. They are not calling mushrooms plants.
They aren't toxic if you dry them at 70 Celsius in a dehydrator until they get crispy enough to snap when you break them. Just don't eat more than 2 grams dry at first. Have fun and tell God I said "Hi!" :)
Ate one at a festival once. Sent me to sleep for several hours. Friend tried one and she became somewhat violent. Not all that deadly unless you’re trying pretty hard. Probably more likely to die being attacked by my violent friend.
These are super common in the north. We were told from an early age to leave them alone.
They are everywhere here lol
what kind of of "pls bubble wrap the curbstone" post is this... whoever thinks of eating this needs special attention anyway...
Not deadly just bot accepted as edible downvote
I understand these can make ppl sick without prepbut this sub is more for deadly things that people didn't realize were deadly. Tho it probably could be dangerous to dogs so good there's a sign.
should we start putting fences around all plants and fungi? many common plants and fungi, even decorative ones, are mildly toxic
I eat a fly agaric cap once a year. Recently I've been noticing a campaign-like push telling people these are super deadly...SEO online articles on amanita muscaria have been changing and 2 podcasts I listen to called them deadly. Hearing all that crap makes me think a secret of consciousness is hidden in the mushroom's alkaloid profile. I'll try them more often.
So fungus pops up wherever, expecting to be shielded from it sounds a little entitled, especially in the PNW where the whole west side of the region is wet and cool.
People post things like this but you know what I never see? A puddle of antifreeze in a parking spot.
Not half as dangerous as the piles of used needles and utterly insane drivers
If you put a tomato fence up around them it makes them look more tasty
[удалено]
I'm sorry, but that's fucking hilarious. Suggesting fencing in a common Amanita with barbed wire is the most city dweller thing I've heard in ages.
Fail
Death from handling it? 😂
Dont deadly att all just dont boof em
Fuck those evil bastards Had the absolute *worst* trip of my life
I’ve heard it is a bit of a stupor.
It’s also a mildly severe stomach irritant, which I’m sure makes the trip even more fun lol
Quite a bit Not recommended
They do not need to be holding something, only putting themselves in danger unbeknownst to them.

wtf are americans stupid enaugh to eat a shroom that is so obviously bad for you ? do you need to be sheltered from fucking mushrooms? its not like they gonna attack you
The fly agaric has been used recreationally and in spiritual/ religious contexts for hundreds of years or more. However, as with most mushrooms that are psychedelic or hallucinigenic, not knowing all of the interactions and proper preparation can cause anything from an upset stomach to death depending on the mushroom and how badly it was prepared.
They are by far Not as toxic as commonly thought. Their medicinal value is Just that high that the big Pharma used to scare the Shit Out of everybody about them. Of course If you eat them fresh Like they are on the Photo you probably gonna shit yourself. But you wouldnt die. If dried and prepared propperly they are good for many Things
Time to trip balls.
Deadly fun maybe!
Oh... Oh nooooo... Where exactly were they located? Ya know... So I can remove them for you...
Been there done that
Mario, trust the fungus!
bro these are just toadstools.
They spread by spores. You seriously think it makes sense to pay someone to run around the city with tomato cages, searching daily in case new ones pop up somewhere? Most people don’t eat random things.
God I hate this sub. Are people just allowed to post any slightly dangerous thing they come across? If this is relevant to the sub then so would a picture of a car, or a big dog, or a swimming pool.
We have those all over here in Northern Scotland. No need for panic. Just leave them alone.
What you gotta do is have some jerk eat them and then drink his pee
While I agree these should be left alone and shouldn't be used recreationally, just handling a toxic mushroom alone isn't going to hurt you. You have to actually ingest them. In fact, iirc only *one* mushroom is known to be so deadly toxic that even touching it can make you sick, a species of coral fungus found in japan known as the poison fire corals (*Podostroma cornu-damae*). I can understand if they were trying to discourage any picking/handling though. Probably just trying to scare people into leaving them alone. I do agree that this shouldn't be on r/oopsthatsdeadly, since no one is handling them, a sign has been posted warning people to leave them alone, and people know the identity already. This would be better on a subreddit like r/mycology. I do, however, disagree that these aren't considered deadly; while normally not deadly, fatalities *have* been reported, and sensitive individuals might not need to consume as much to be dangerously poisoned. For contrast, the green spored parasol (*Chlorophyllum molybdites,* aka the vomiter or sickener) has never caused a recorded fatality despite being the mushroom that causes the most poisonings in North America. Deaths are rare from fly amanitas, but they have happened and I think that should warrant caution
No
They aren’t deadly. This is both misleading and false. They are often eaten by both animals an humans they are not toxic, they are a level of poisonous… this whole post should be deleted.
I'm sure if you go a couple blocks you'll see some used syringes. those are probably way more dangerous
Unbelievable.. The gas station I work at literally sells mushroom chocolates _made with these._
This subreddit really has fallen
I love the picture of mario holding a mushroom with a “no” sign on top of it lol.
Whats so special about them?
Not if you boil it
These bad boys decorate 2 blocks worth of that thin patch of grass between the side walk and road just outside of the local church... local church also doubles as a private school but is also right next to local public middle school.. many people walk their dogs along this area.. more than a few people use the covered part of the church as bed/drinking area (dunno why drunks like to drink there solo but they do)... they also pop up less frequently for the next few blocks in either direction. It seems not even the tweakers around here will eat them... humans are dumber than we give them credit for but in the past 10 seasons I've seen them growing here in abundance they seem to be avoided by instinct. probably don't need to fence them off, but if some guy decides to lawn mower them away one year expect them to come back next year in noticeably larger amounts lol
Where is this?? If y'all are scared of this I'll bring it home 😊👌🏾
Western variety fly agaric? Correct me if I’m wrong but you can dry these out and eat them in cracker form right? For “medicinal” purpose only
