Mushroom Edible?

[robertvarner]

Our daughter found a group of mushrooms in her backyard and asked if they are poisonous. She sent pics and we looked through our three mushroom books, but could not find the exact type as the n these books.

They look like some type of Bolete, except for the white stalk. Can someone let me know what you think these are?

Looks like a stropharia. They are edible if it is a stropharia. They don't taste all that good. There are some in the stropharium group that can be hallucinating!

Oh yay! I'll have her save those for eating on a really bad day!

Thanks for your help.

I always knew you were a fun-gi!

When they open check for gills, or sponge.
If they have gills they really do look like Stropharia ambigua.

Just remember the wrong mushroom will kill you very painfully.

Mushrooms amaze me. I'd love to use a Time Machine to see how the hell they figured out which ones were edible and which ones were not.

"Hey Charlie, eat this."

Writing notes in journal, "Charlie died eating yellow top with white stem mushroom."

There's some plant that is poisonous. But if you cook it not once, not twice, but three times, it becomes edible.

Agreed. Stropharia ambigua and edible, but yeah... not exactly all that flavorful or especially tasty. I don't harvest them, but I know people that do.

I've they've never tried them before... I say "why not"! Spiced breaded and deep fried(?) I highly doubt they will go back for seconds, though.

Good eye @Reno, I think you're correct, sir!

My dad told me that my grandfather got seriously ill eating poke sallet not cooked properly.

As little kids we would use the juice from the berries as a type of dye to paint the walls of our tree fort. We had no idea they were fairly toxic.

Maybe they'd taste better with LOTS of hot sauce?

If you can't identify it, don't eat it.

Nothing makes my day better than a bowl of rotting leaves!
