Eat it or deadly?

[psychobilly's wife]

The last ones do appear to be the "cinnabar red" chants, they're really tasty, too. A better shot of the underside would help confirm.

Is the difference between cinnabar and Jack's a simple answer? Or... if not simple, some information you have? I' m getting better at identifying, but I always learned from old timers... guess I'd rather hear first hand from someone who's eaten them. Can't trust the internet ya know. 🤣

Those are Canthatellus cinnabarinus, good eats!
The toxic Jack o lanterns (Omphalotus illudens), has real gills and is orange all the way through. The Chantrelles don't have real gills, they're just ridges or wrinkles. The larger orangish ones are white in the center.

Thanks for the info bro

We ended up not eating those because of being uncertain. Now we know.... LOL if you visit on a humid year, you may need a trash bag to fill those with, because they are literally everywhere out there.

Buy some new bread bro. Actually I'd probably just pick it off if the rest was clean.

LOL I know I was tossing it away and saw that mold. Because of this thread, now every time I see some sketchy mold I think " Eat it or Deadly"

 

[Psychobilly]

Depending on the bread, and the type of spore, it could be regular mold on bread, or it could be a ticket to space if it's Ergot.

Just a heads up, picking it off isn't super helpful, because the rest of it is growing without showing, so it can still make you sick. Freezing doesn't help either, which I used to hear back when I was a kid, but it doesn't kill it either. No wonder I puked so much when I was a kid LOL.

I’m a wuss when it comes to that stuff! I never ate around it but now I’ll have a good argument when someone tries to tell me to!

When I'm not sure of a species of Mushroom, I sometimes make some shit up. This is a Butter Cracker Mushroom.



"Yellow Tree Sneeze"



These I did know; Chicken of the Woods! That log was massive, and we harvested a good 10 pounds from that, and most of it was still left.



"Brown Pecker Mushroom"


Tree does better knots than I do...



Tree Jerky Mushroom

I have OCD, so my idea was generally "I'm not hungry now" or whatever I could think of to not have to eat it. I love Mushrooms, and I'll eat those all day, but their cousins.... LOL.

"Broken Umbrella Mushroom"


"Normal Umbrella Mushroom"


"Golden Nads"


"Tree Eggs"

See, now you HAVE to move.... and yeah, you can tell if the Wife took the picture; way more detail, and multiple angles to see those things, where as I'm like "oh look at the Mushrooms! Pretty! I want pictures!" Lol.
