''foraging for wild mushrooms is highly dangerous and shouldn't be odne unless you know how to''

Biology fan here, how do I qualify to safely forage for mushrooms? I have an app that scans mushrooms and gives a list of visuals, spore prints , anatomy, substrate growth stages and preferred trees/soil pH are all things I understand but it's all amateur level. I did find a destroying angel though!

>> No.13121702

There might be a local mycological society or university or something that will positively ID them for you, especially if you live somewhere that mushroom foraging is popular. You can probably pick whatever with almost no risk, just don't eat them unless you're completely sure.

What do you mean? From what I've heard it's quite hard for americans to buy fresh chanterelles and boletes.

>It obviously isn’t that hard

It is. A lot of mushrooms like boletes and chanterelles require a complex eco system of right soil and the right trees growing nearby, which we haven't really figured out how it works exactly to replicate it. Oyster mushroom and Enoki are easy because they grow pretty much on any dead wood. Agaricus/button mushrooms grow on any soil.

Calm down, buddy. There are over 100 species of mushroom being actively cultivated commercially around the globe (Japan boasts 80+), despite there typically only being 2-3 for sale in the typical American grocer.

The US is a soil rich meat loving nation. Countries with high quantities of cultivated mushrooms have very poor soil quality, limited space, and very little meat in their typical diet. Due to media shitshows around mushroom poisoning from the 1970's through today there's no mass demand for cultivated mushrooms in the US beyond portobellos and shiitake in the more gentrified areas. There are roughly 20 specialty mushrooms farmed or foraged for the high end dining segment, but at $8-$200/lb wholesale, there's really nowhere for the operations to expand into wider markets.

Semi new forager here, I actually found it not as hard as anticipated you just have to be careful and double check as well as stick to easy to recognize varieties to start.

Puffballs like you have in pic are pretty foolproof if you're paying attention. Pic related is a haul from a couple days ago. The white mushrooms are elm oysters which grow like crazy around here. I've collected about that amount most days for the last week or so.

Elm oysters (hypsizygus ulmarius) being cooked. They're probably my favorite wild mushroom, some specimens can get quite big and they have a firm but juicy texture. The flavor is similar to normal oysters, classically mushroom but with a light taste of the smell of tree sap. They aren't earthy at all, which I do really like in some mushrooms but I find the clean woody mushroom flavour very appealing.

I get elm oysters at my lake home. I can often collect a couple pounds in ten minutes, they are that prolific. Looks great, anon.

I guess this is turning into my mushroom blog. Here's some giant puffballs. They are honestly probably my least favorite wild mushroom I've eaten so far. Still good and worth cooking up if you find them, but I find the texture a little mushy and the flavour pretty good but not up there with oysters or morrels of even shaggy manes.

Yeah if you have the right kind of trees in an area they can be a real bonanza.

Here's some chicken of the woods from a few weeks back, another foolproof beginner's mushroom and extremely tasty in my opinion. The texture and even flavour really is surprisingly like chicken with deep mushroom undertones. These are pretty rare w

Pretty rare where I am so I really cherish when I find them.

Pic related are shaggy manes, also very easy to identify. Very earthy flavour and they cook down to almost nothing, but very worth collecting.

I dunno the english name, I learn the latin ones for this very reason. Boletus Badius I think, it stains blue. that one is too beat up to be any good. Yes, it's seriously named ''Badius'' but the deathcap's name had ''Phalloid'' in it.

>>13133910
aren't all the Euro deadlies like the deathcap imported by unwitting colonists when they shipped hardwoord from the new world to here?

Some sort of do. This is a dog vomit slime mold that I have pop up in my garden periodically through the summer, it moves around and they are said to be semi-sentient. It will show up, then meander around the garden for a few days before drying up and becoming spores that will then grow another slime mold.

Yeah they're not classified as fungus anymore but still seemed worth mentioning. They're certainly not fast, move a foot or two a day I would say. They seem to move around more on days when there's a lot of moisture like light drizzle all day.

if you grab two of them, and smash them together, will they act as a singular colony or defuse?

Not only will they act as a single colony, they will exchange information and the new colony will have the knowledge of both.

The google results look nothing like the one I found. Pic related is the picture I get when I google it.

The boletes here >>13138945 weren't brown, they looked intensively yellow/orange/almost red in some spots. They weren't really beat up, the blue bruising was just me touching them, they bruised blue very fast very intensively.
