Spring has come, #mushrooms can already be found in the forests, these are Gylomitra esculensis, which are also called "valgomasis bobausis / edible bobausis".
In fact
* very toxic, because of #gylomithrin (#N-methyl-N-formylhydrazone, which appears in the #mushroom trama by #hydrolysis - after uprooting or cutting the mushroom);
* poisoning depends on the individual characteristics of the body's reaction to the #poison;
* every 10th eater dies

@attresa Also known as "false morel", although it's just one of the species that are commonly misidentified as choice edible Morchella / "true morel" (which there's also several subspecies of).
@tildalwave true, but it doesn't look like bobausis at all 😅Morchella does not look like a brain
@attresa Lithuanian equivalent of fugu fish :) ate it several times this spring already
