    I’ve been told 95% are edible but only 5% taste nice and the other 5% look like the others but can do you serous harm.

  17. Rogers and the River Cottage books are a good starting point. If I can't get a positive ident from those two it's onto another three or four books, to be sure to be sure to be sure to be sure. The biggest problem is colour reproduction in the pictures which can vary due to print production, film stock used, lighting etc. To conpound this there is of course natural variation of the specimen itself.
    Best advice here so far has been from @cunny44 An unidentified fungus is as good as a death cap, just think on a misidentified one is the same thing.
    Now for a bit of levity.
    What do you call a gay mushroom?













    Funguy.
     
  18. BTW. Shaggy ink cap extract was and may still be used in treating alcoholics. If taken with alcohol it generally induces violent vomiting. Saying that, one of me mates can eat them by the pan full, washed down with a few tinnies with no ill effects.
    Which reminds me, try a little of anything that you have for the first time, it may disagree with you when being perfectly safe.

    The Death Cap worst of all second the Destroying angel .
    With the death cap after consumption nothing happens for 9 to 10 hours . Then chronic abdominal cramps vomiting and diarrhoea and extreme thirst ...then there is lull or dormancy for two days and tis is the most dangerous period on it's destruction of the liver, the nervous system is paralysed ,then delirium collapse and death .
    And a surprisingly small amount can cause this .

    Owing to the long incubation period ordinary simple measures for ridding the stomach of it's contents are obviously not sufficient to remedy the harm already done .
    Happy mushrooming everyone ....Oh i forgot beware of the False Death Cap ( Amanita Mappa ) :thinking:
