@rosemarymosco And here's what we really need to know about mushrooms:
Amanita phalloides - Wikipedia

@klavsse @rosemarymosco They're evil evil, off the chart :) Fortunately for us some people worry they'll mix them up with Macrolepiota procera, so there's more parasols for us.
@rosemarymosco wait, what's "jiggles if you poke it"? It makes me think of a slime mold, which is unrelated to fungi
@endrift I drew witch's butter but you'll find this with many types, including wood ears
@rosemarymosco ohhh I hadn't heard of witch's butter until today! TIL
@rosemarymosco @endrift the general term for these is jelly fungi! you can find them all the way into deep winter. here’s a good video about them: https://youtu.be/CJPowNSEHTQ?si=HnbitnV7yGJxQEsw

@rosemarymosco fun/sad fact, 3 summers ago it was so hot that morel spores were activated in the bark mulch in my yard. They only grow around here after forest fires usually...
@rosemarymosco sadly i mostly get the NSFW kind around my area. but, fun fact: they start out in egg form!

@rosemarymosco YES 💖🍄

This is my kind of mycology

@rosemarymosco well, funny/not the chalice is trompette de la 💀 mort en français… my gateway into mushroom cuisine France- Spain travel 1994…
@rosemarymosco ps, umm, still researching the forbidden elixirs…
@rosemarymosco Mushroom season already? Well if anybody needs me I'll be in the forest with a satchel.
@rosemarymosco
ooh have you seen morels in the fall?? i thought they were just spring ephemerals!
@rosemarymosco @lisamelton “Alien Invasion Beginning In A Small Town”
@rosemarymosco As a mushroom hunter, I strongly agree with this classification.

@rosemarymosco Is that chalice for forbidden elixirs horn of plenty (Craterellus cornucopioides)?

If it is, I can confirm it is absolutely delicious.

@rosemarymosco and remember people, you can eat every mushroom at least once!

@rosemarymosco Helvella crispa (?).

@rosemarymosco Linnaeus eat your heart out. 🩷
@rosemarymosco so very cool! On a Mastodon related note: in Galician, egg is called a "wolf's toot".
