Oh thanks for your comment, I will research that also! I know the video mentioned it was supposed to aid the immune system. I have MS (many years) and my son was just telling me he read about some mushrooms that have brought some people great relief - and they grow in Florida. I had forgotten I was going to research the subject. Don't know if this is one of them, but I will certainly try anything within reason. Seems I remember one called a lions mane or similar? I must start looking...🥾🥾🍄

Damn dude I’m just sayin, that first mushroom you picked turned real blue after u picked it, how was it? Looks like a reishi, but even if it’s a different similar “subspecies” I’m sure they have similar effects. Like a combo between cubensis and lionsmane, not in actuality chemically, but just a similar vibe ig.

@TheHunterGathererSociety
@TheHunterGathererSociety 3 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it, although there are certainly red mushrooms that are poisonous there are also ones that are edible. For example the beefsteak fungus. We take each mushroom individually and run it past several checks to ensure identification. My advice is to discover the joy of discovering and identifying new plants and mushrooms. Along the way you will discover some wonderful edibles.

@@TheHunterGathererSociety Thanks for the info and quick reply, good to know. I am excited to learn more about foraging. Growing up as the oldest of eight in Northern Michigan we certainly lived off the land as much as possible ie: hunting, fishing, wild berry/fruits, even dandelion and poke greens. My fondest memories are of morel mushroom "hunting". I must have gathered hundreds of pounds in my lifetime and it was a wonderful family outdoor bonding experience. I live in North Florida now and have yet to find a morel. There are many fungi on my property but the only ones I feel brave enough to eat so far are the chanterelles. They are prolific! I am not yet educated enough on Florida mushrooms to feel confident eating others. Should I give up on my quest for morals here? Maybe try to grow them? I sure miss those delectable morsels!

Every generality you've ever heard about mushrooms is wrong. They are "old wives tales" and listening to any of them could get you very sick or possibly dead. The only rule of mushroom hunting that must be adhered to is "never consume any mushroom unless you are 100% positive of its identity". I've broken this rule very cautiously a few times, (boletus, agaricus, hypsizgus, gray/black chanterelles) but I've spent years researching and knew that at worst I might suffer some gastric upset. If you can't easily recognize every single deadly mushroom in your environment you really need to be very careful and stick to only the safest species.

I heard x2 suggestions. - The stem of a poisonous mushroom would be more straightened out.than curly. - when you crack open the cap of a poisonous mushroom, it should turn a tinge of blue or red on the inside pretty quickly. a magic mushroom would instead turn a shade of black when broken or bruised and it happens more slowly

One of the generally accepted "rules" for safe foraging of Boletes is to avoid yellow pored, blue staining specimens. There are exceptions, such as Boletus bicolor, which is considered a safe and good edible, but one of it's primary identification characteristics is that its flesh turns blue slowly (pore surface often stains rapidly), not instantaneously. How did you determine that your collections of rapidly blue staining Boletes were safely edible? I've spent years studying them and have not found a reliable way to positively ID them without microscopy. And I've found no reliable data on the edibility of rapidly bluing species, even with microscopic ID. I've collected and studied many in South Florida, they're the most common Boletes I find down here by far. I'm not discounting your knowledge, I'm genuinely interested in learning more.
@TheHunterGathererSociety
@TheHunterGathererSociety 2 жыл бұрын
Sorry, can't share much "reliable" data. I equate them to false morels. I grew up being told by everyone around me that they were poisonous . However as i began to research mushrooms I realized that other cultures have been eating them for years. Then I discovered people here who hunt for and love them. For the blue bolete I find that some people say they are bad while others disagree. Thats why I never recommend bolete especially to beginners. As far as Id, I take pictures of multiple specimens from one group. Close ups that show the stalk, cap, and pores at different ages. Always dig the base out of the dirt to photograph it. With these blue staining ones finall id may come down to the base of the stem or the cracks on the cap. Sometimes I simply eliminate the ones that might make me sick, narrow it down to a couple edible species. Then try a small sample and wait 24 hours.
