Are you sure that ain't a photo of DiFi without makeup?
The problem with mushrooms is, mis identify and you will die.
Remember the people that came down 84 a couple decades ago.
Ate bad ones and had total liver failure. Stick with what you are 100% positive of. There isn't enough food value in any of them to take the risk.
I've got to disagree with you Taku. I've been a Mycophile for close to 50 years. Started with my dad in Utah, (not a great place for a variety of fungus for sure), did a lot of traveling to the wetter states. I've done a bunch of reading and studying, hunting and eating. Every fall and spring is a magical time for me.
While there are mushroom varieties out there that will kill you dead, there are many more varieties that will only, maybe, make you wish you were dead, if you know what I mean, for a few days. LOL
You bring up those folks that thought they were getting "Straw Mushrooms" but instead got "Death Caps". That was a bad mistake on their part as they broke major rules of mushroom gathering, kind of like breaking one or three of the basic rule of gun handling. Weird thing is, in this part of the country there are very few, only three that I can think of, mushrooms that are DEADLY. The Death Cap the Destroying Angel and two varieties of Galerina. There may be more, I haven't gone through all 756 mushrooms in my book that covers North America.
There's a whole bunch O' fungus in the NW that contain psilocybin, in varying amounts, that most books, even if they show them list them as "Poisonous". And there are some others mushroom that contain psychoactive substances other than psilocybin that Native Americans purportedly ate for spiritual purposes.
That's probably more than you wanted to know, eh? Sometimes I just get tired of the misinformation surrounding something that is so crazy prevalent here in the Great Northwest! Sure wish I knew as much about fire arms, but THAT little hobby has only been with me for a little over two years.

Well stated.
