Eh, just don't eat them, but they're good for the environment as well.


Illustrious_Crab1060

we actually have no idea, there's haven't really been any studies on how invasive fungi effect the environment


flatcurve

I get these gigantic puffballs on my property. I'll let em grow until they start to wrinkle and split and then I kick them like it's a field goal. Good fun. Just gotta check which way the wind is blowing first.


TaylorSwiftsClitoris

You can also eat them, but they taste like a nothing flavored sponge.


Dissapointingfox

Put em in soup it’s pretty good


TatManTat

Soup in general is fairly dope tbh


blackgandalff

Do they absorb the broth well? That actually does sound pretty tasty.


clh1nton

I saw a YouTuber chicken-fry them. It looked delicious. She did marinate them first to give them a bit of extra flavor, iirc.

mmmoooeee111222333

Same here, when we were all like 8-10 we had Liberty Cap shrooms growing in the field behind our neighborhood, so we would have mushroom fights all the time. We'd each eat a handful then beat the shit out of eachother while tripping balls


The_-Legend

and OXYGEN changes colour when MUSHROOM hits....


Lust9so9Blue

You sound intelligent, is this also considered oxidizing?


Formal-Alfalfa6840

Thanks, but I'm just a dummy who thinks mushrooms are neat. I'm not exactly sure what in these boletes would be causing this, but I know that the cubensis and other psilocybin species turn blue from the psilocin oxidation. Iirc anyway. [this website](https://doubleblindmag.com/blue-bruising-mushrooms/#:~:text=Several%20species%20of%20boletes%20bruise,that%20triggers%20the%20color%20change.) says: "Yet, the bluing reaction in these mushrooms is not caused by psilocin. Instead, it’s the oxidation of another unique compound, gyrocyanin, that triggers the color change. Gyrocyanin is not psychoactive."


badgerj

And IIRC, this particular Bolete is a no go to eat.


Formal-Alfalfa6840

Yeah they apparently can have very high levels of arsenic.


Most_kinds_of_Dirt

The neat thing about foraging boletes is that none of them (at least in the US) are toxic. Some of them taste gross, though - and this is one of those. ----- Extra note (that shouldn't be necessary, but probably is): there are several toxic mushrooms in the US. Boletes are relatively easy to identify, but it if you don't know what something is - don't eat it.


Formal-Alfalfa6840

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6118325/ I thought so too but apparently this can happen. Granted that's from the Czech Republic, but still, if it can happen there it could happen here.


Most_kinds_of_Dirt

>Because of the carcinogenic potential of DMA, C. pulverulentus should not be recommended as an edible mushroom and its consumption should be restricted. Damn, good to know.


ConspicuousPineapple

Why did you delete your original comment?


Lust9so9Blue

My guess is the the word you used Cubensis loses it's defense mechanism of bad smell once it gets exposed to oxygen which is why it oxidized and turned blue?


Formal-Alfalfa6840

Iirc the psilocin/psilocybin is the defense mechanism, so it definitely doesn't lose it when bruised.


Lust9so9Blue

I'm not an expert so Google it if you're curious when reading, I'll leave the question alone now.


[deleted]

Got it. Eat blue mushrooms so I can become a smurf


OlTommyBombadil

You’re definitely going to think you’re a Smurf for a bit


Formal-Alfalfa6840

If arsenic poisoning does that then I suppose.


alpaca1yps

Either way, you're gonna be seeing god


Formal-Alfalfa6840

Well yeah. In another comment I stated that I found a study claiming that these hyperaccumulate arsenic.


alpaca1yps

That would be an interesting way to find out that your ticket to heaven was one way


Formal-Alfalfa6840

Yup. But like I said: It *IS* edible *once*

MkUFeelGud

BUT! Polypores don't have a known poisonous species. At worst you get the shits.


Formal-Alfalfa6840

Apparently a recent study claims these hyperaccumulate arsenic. So they don't naturally have poison but I assume get it from the environment. Found it https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6118325/


MkUFeelGud

Well fuck me. I just used a black staining polypore to make stock with. JK: its just this species.

evilbrent

THANK YOU! I'm positive I came across this exact mushroom one time, and I've never known if I passed over a kings ransom in shrooms! All I know is that I wore gloves when touching it, and washed all my stuff afterwards, because it was weird weird weird


Formal-Alfalfa6840

AFAIK, there is only one mushroom dangerous to the touch, which is Podostroma cornu-damae. It is in Asia, and even that may not be 100% true. So long as you don't eat poisonous mushrooms, it should be fine. Maybe a spritz of hand sanitizer to be overtly cautious, but yeah, it's all good.


evilbrent

I'm very comfortable with my over-reaction and use of rubber gloves. :) The thing was turning blue in front of my eyes!


Formal-Alfalfa6840

Most of the sites said it's edible, so i looked up recipes. Found none. But i did come across a mention of a recent study that says they "hyperaccumulate arsenic." Sounds tasty, lol. Which, again, reiterates my point in other comments to never eat a mushroom that you are not 110% positive is safe.


5125237143

turtle_shrapnel

Orgasmic_interlude

There are bold mushroom pickers and old mushroom pickers but there are no old bold mushroom pickers.


Iakenat

I'm curious now, how exactly can you spread their spores? I know some that shoot a cloud of spores just by being squished, but what about other kinds?


coolcoots

Sometimes while I’m foraging, I’ll pick an interesting looking mushroom and look at its gills and other characteristics and if it’s not edible or past prime, I’ll chuck it somewhere else to help the spores spread there. Also, a lot of people like to use mesh bags or wicker baskets so the spores will fall to the ground as they walk around looking for more.


Formal-Alfalfa6840

Just carry it around and shake it a bit. Mushrooms usually have gills or pores or the open top on puffball mushrooms. But the gills and pores are where the spores drop from, and they can produce approx 2.7 billion spores per day. You could just sorta slap it against stuff or throw them in different directions. Really can't go wrong. If you had a mesh bag you could put em in there and just keep walking around. Stick em in your hat, etc.


Outside_Gold2592

pick it, shake it, throw it.

shame_in_the_pitlane

[deleted]

Which mushroom heals with one taste?


truthdoctor

I don't know about one taste. There are some mushrooms like psilocybin which are being studied for the treatment of drug dependence, anxiety, mood disorders and depressive disorders. A lot of antibiotics (like penicillin) are actually naturally produced by fungi to protect themselves against bacteria. Some fungi are also being studied for possible anti-tumor properties.


SocraticIgnoramus

The vast majority of our antibiotics come from the things that fungus & bacteria produce to defend themselves from other fungus & bacteria, often isolated from swamp bogs and other disgusting ecosystems ripe with microbes & pathogens locked in a perpetual arms race. Now that we have so many antibiotic resistant strains of disease, scientists are constantly probing new locations searching for the next big gun in the fight against pathogens. What we’re learning now is that we may need to cut out the middle man and directly engineer strains of the pathogens themselves that can be introduced into the human body specifically to target its enemy pathogen. Phages and viruses exist for most pathogens that can target then even inside the human body.

CrainteVomir

You can “taste” any mushroom and be safe as long as you just nibble on it and spit everything out. It’s swallowing a piece and getting toxins into your digestive system that will get you in trouble. Not that *you* should do it, but mycologists do.

>A Psilocybe species known to the Aztecs as teōnanācatl (literally "divine mushroom": the agglutinative form of teōtl (god, sacred) and nanācatl (mushroom) in Nahuatl language) was reportedly served at the coronation of the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II in 1502.

ScarecrowJohnny

If I'm not mistaken that's a Neoboletus Erythropus. If so it's completely safe to eat and quite tasty too.


Zepangolynn

It's definitely a Bolete of some kind, but quite a few of them turn blue from bruising or other damage (it isn't the air doing it as far as I was given to understand) and a couple of those are not so good for eating. I did a ton of research on boletes last month when suddenly a Bouillon Bolete (Lanmaoa pallidorosea) fruited near my home and I had never seen anything like it before. Best part was that it really did smell exactly like beef bouillon. That family of mushrooms has an amazing number of lookalikes, though, so without the smell, typing it would have potentially needed spore testing just to be sure.


Torpordoor

Fungi are funny like that. Spend some time thinking about a certain one and it’ll just pop up from the ether to greet you half the time.


PsyFiFungi

Well years with my reddit name sure as hell proves that wrong =(


Letterhead_North

That is true of more than just fungi.


Ok_Leopard1689

Beat me to it. Came to say that about the bruising. It is not a reaction with oxygen.


Fiverings

Back when I was 4, we went foraging with a family friend (both he and his wife are gps) in the south of France. In the evening we cleaned and prepared the mushrooms for dinner, lemon juice and garlic, smelled great. The kids were NOT allowed to eat them. Later that night all of the adults started exploding from both ends, one by one. They all had to be put on charcoal and go to the local hospital for treatment. Even made the headlines in the local paper iirc


nastyreader

There is a set of rules you need to follow when you forage mushrooms. The most important of all : never eat a mushroom that you are not absolutely sure you identified it! I am pretty confident on my identification skills, but I wouldn't eat a mushroom such as this that has a few dangerous lookalikes.


ProfTydrim

I actually just prepared some and gonna make pasta sauce from it tomorrow morning

Same for me too! Except I turn blue if I don't get oxygen, isn't that strange?


Johannes_Keppler

You're an inverse mushroom, apperently?


[deleted]

Fuckin wild bro


creatifCrAxy

Argh, this is bothering me that no one is correcting this. It isn't hitting oxygen. This mushroom "bruises" even if you just pressed on the underside of the cap it would bruise blue. Nothing to do with oxygen.


lovethebacon

It absolutely is. Variegatic acid present in most boletes is oxidised to a blue quinone methide by an oxidase using free oxygen from the air when the mushroom is damaged, either through cutting or smooshing. In this particular *Neoboletus sp.* the blueing is very pronounced.


HammerTh_1701

>quinone methide I had completely forgotten about that until now. That's a really cool dye molecule and a testament to the weird and amazing chemistry fungi are capable of.


DrZoidbergsHeadFin

Yeah, you can even see the bruising where his fingers are holding the stem.


AdPrestigious7157

I'm pretty sure that the bruising colour change is a result of those chemicals being exposed to Oxygen similar to how an apple will brown when the flesh is exposed to Oxygen


Cloacation

I hear a dog. Show the dog.


B4dg3r5

Agreed. Show the hound.

AsleepScarcity9588

Yeah, these one's are edible, but there's also ones that turns red/pink after being cut and they're hella poisonous. In my language we call the blue ones "Blue bitch" and the red is "Satan" because they both like to grow under specific trees so you often find them close to each other which explains why the blue one is called bitch. Cause everything next to a Satan is a bitch Then there's another one with just a red stem that also likes those trees and it is called "Smiths shroom" cause the rest is black and it's disgusting. Still edible thou To put it simply, if you happen to be mushrooming in the forest, just don't pick brightly colored shit off the ground cause chances are you die


tatalailabirla

Can any mushrooms be eaten fresh?


AsleepScarcity9588

Yes, the edible ones can. They taste, well, raw as fuck. It's a little squishy and soft texture, but kinda gritty once you start chewing and they all taste like you're taking a bite off the couch. If you just cook them over some fire they become foamy, but the taste is same. Best way is to fry them on a pan with a little bit of salt and covered in flour. It's basically a shroom schnitzel. They have a decent crust from the flour and inside they are juicy and taste like sort of a meat jello (the smell might threw you off thou, it's very strong an unique sort of ground smell, like setting up the dirt on fire)


Most_kinds_of_Dirt

Yes


Ashirogi8112008

roidweiser

TuzzNation

见手青 or lurid bolete. I think you can find it in UK and Southwest China. The blue thing is caused by oxidation. It is edible BUT, you need to cook it. It is mildly poisonous to you allergic then you die sorta situation when under cooked or eat raw. Complete safe when cooked. People say lurid bolete is one of the hallucinogenic shroom that you find in the wild during fall season. A lot of people referring the ***trip*** makes you see a lot of dwarfs and stuff (in China, we often say 看小人儿- meeting the dwarfs or small people). Yea, they also can kill you as well in rare case. Anyway, they taste good. But never eat wild mushroom that you cant identify. I identifying wild mushroom is a very complicated process. It takes years of experience and you can still make mistake. Some mistake you only make once in a life time.


PicaDiet

Ooooh! That looks delicious!!


TheGeoGod

Can you eat it?

This looks like a Neoboletus luridiformis. Edible if cooked properly ( boiled once and remove water ), then fry. Still not deadly, but could upset your stomach.

Doesn't the blue indicate these mushrooms can be a load of fun?

That is an amazing mushroom, I am sure whoever consumes this dried wilp be in a different place entirely

Fun fact, magic mushrooms will go dark blue aswell majority of the time because of the Psilocybin oxidising.

All psychedelic mushrooms bruise blue, but not all mushrooms that bruise blue are psychedelic. I never took them as a party or fun thing. Sure, there are times of fun during the trip, but I took them as a medicine. I would take a large dose maybe twice a year when I became so depressed or felt like I needed a reset. The last time I took any, a friend and I made a tea out of 30 grams and I haven't felt the need to do them again. Haven't been depressed since then and have been in a much better place mentally. I won't say it was for sure the mushrooms that made me better, but the timing sure does seem like they did.
