At first, I was like, "then why must they be coloured like candy?"

Then I was like;
"Wait, why are we colouring our candies like poison???" Eh, fruit is colourful when ripe, but most of the primary colours candies we have now is coloured like poisonous fungi and animals. Hmmmmph.

I agree they are very picturesque! They are both poisonous and hallucinogenic; shamans used to eat them, get high and then collect their urine afterwards. Then they used to urine as a hallucinogen (I think they gave this to their 'followers' to drink although I'd have to check up). Apparently it can pass through the body upto 5 times before it loses it's hallucinogenic properties.

I personally wouldn't like to try using these mushrooms as a hallucinogen though because they contain the same chemicals as Death Cap mushrooms (alpha-amanitin) that causes liver failure I think. Apparently if you boil up the mushroom (Amanita muscaria aka Fly Agaric) then you can make it edible because the alpha-amanitin is water soluble and leeches out, leaving the mushroom edible. Not sure I want to try that either lol!

Hypholoma fasciculare:

location: North America, Europe
edibility: Poisonous/Suspect
fungus colour: Yellow, Brown
normal size: Less than 5cm
cap type: Convex to shield shaped
stem type: Ring on stem
spore colour: Purplish to black
habitat: Grows on wood

Symptoms may be delayed for 5–10 hours after consumption, after which time there may be diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, proteinuria and collapse. Paralysis and impaired vision have been recorded. Symptoms generally resolve over a few days. The autopsy of one fatality revealed fulminant hepatitis reminiscent of amatoxin poisoning, along with involvement of kidneys and myocardium. The mushroom was consumed in a dish with other species so the death cannot be attributed to sulfur tuft with certainty.[5]

The first stages of growth happen when the insect is alive. For example with the ant, when it becomes infected, the fungus 'controls' the ants mind and makes it walk up to the top of the nearest plant and grab onto the plant with its mandibles.

Then the ant dies and that fruitbody grows out from its head to disperse more spores!

Crystal Falls Michigan might hold interest for you folks.

>Crystal Falls is "Home of the Humungous Fungus", perhaps the world's largest and oldest living organism. It covers 38 acres beneath an Iron County forest near the Wisconsin border. It is believed to be 1,500 to 10,000 years old and weigh about 100 tons - about the same as an adult blue whale. It is the species called Armillaria Bulbosa and the mushrooms it produces are commonly called "honey mushroom."

it's a curious thing to me cos there ain't too many woods around here. the only shrooms i see are in the markets, or those ones that pop up outta the blue after some soggy weather.

Edible or no, I wouldn't fuck around with amanitas... what if it were a weirdly colored specimen of a different member of the family? DO NOT WANT. There are plenty of other delicious mushrooms out there.

You're not wrong; The Blusher looks very similar to the potentially deadly A. pantherina, doesn't taste that nice and causes anemia if eaten raw.

Even A. caesarea can look like a Death Cap apparently but never have I ever found either.

BUT I'm not saying I wouldn't eat them myself! I would have to be 100% certain of what species I had and to do this I might have to get my microscope out and I'd definitely have to confirm it with an expert or two.

Yeah. What I'm saying is, at that point, you might as well eat something else. It can't be THAT incredibly delicious. Plus the irrational paranoia of "what if I'm wrong"? would probably prevent me from actually enjoying it.

See that makes it a bit more exciting/ rewarding for me; the fact that if I get it right then it's a bit of an accomplishment! It's like the 'extreme sports' of the culinary world! Each to his own though I suppose.

It's unfortunate the The Blusher apparently isn't that great but I've read that A. caeserea is very very good

Yeah, according to the guidebook I use, A. caesarea is considered one of the very best by experts. I'd eat it if I had one that was identified by a real mushroom expert. Well, one bite anyways. :D

Ever had matsutakes? One of the most delicious things I ever tested.

I've never had matsutakes which is a shame, for someone who's interested in fungi I haven't eaten that many different species. List of species I have eaten:

Agaricus campestris (Field Mushroom), very nice
Agaricus bisporus (Cultivated Mushroom), very nice
Auricularia auricula-judae (Jelly Ear), kinda horrible in the recipe I made
Agaricus silvaticus (Blushing Wood Mushroom), very nice
Lepista nuda (Wood Blewit), was hard to tell coz the flavour was masked by other ingredients but it awesomely purple
Chlorophyllum rhacodes (Shaggy Parasol), hard to tell was in with other ingredients
Boletus edulis (Cep), hard to tell, was in with other ingredients
Marasmius oreades (Fairy-ring Champignon), hard to tell but the recipe was amazing

I want to add to this list though. I've got some Flammulina veluptipes (Velvet Shank) drying out right now that hopefully I'll eat soon. Also have some bright red waxcaps to ID

Two-tone bolete/Zeller's bolete
"boring brown bolete" - boletus subtomentosus
Admirable bolete
Shaggy parasols (first tried them this year, they were awesome)
Horse mushrooms (Made me vomit!)
Shaggy manes
Chantrelles
Oyster mushrooms
Morels
The aforementioned matsutakes
Various types of puffballs
Cauliflower mushroom
Bear's tooth fungus
Sulfur shelf, a.k.a. chicken of the woods, a.k.a. "what the hell is that?"

Plus a few interesting species that you can buy in the store here in Vancouver, but I suppose they don't count.

Also eaten Psilocybe semilanceata which didn't taste nice but not as bad as people say...

I'm envious of some of your achievements. Would love to find chanterelles!

I don't know, I think shop bought fungi still count! I included the cultivated mushroom in my list

Too many boletes in this thread. Time for some more weirdos.

"One of the few fleshy fungi that lives up to the label 'fungus' in its most pejorative sense - odious, insidious, hideous, obnoxious, downright abominable." (dry rot)

If that doesn't convince you to buy David Arora's mushroom book, nothing will.

my best guess is someone has cut out a compartment in the centre of the bible like people do on films to store money or a gun or whatever and filled it with rice flour and vermiculite. Sterilized the whole thing in a pressure cooker then innoculated the rice flour with shroom spores or similar whilst keeping the bible in an air tight plastic bag. Then grown the mycelium and then taken it out of the bag to fruit.

But I don't really know I'm talking about; I've only ever read about how you grow magic mushrooms.
