"What's for dinner?"
"MUSHROOM SLAB!"

Now open it and breathe deeply. Welcome it into you. Become one with it.

Isn't this step 1 for identifying any unknown mushroom? Or is it step 2 after "have a bite?"

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If step 1 is have a bite and step 2 is to have open communication with an entity from another universe, then we can ignore any previous instruction. I think. I am confused now, anyways.

Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

Oh thanks, saved. Will break this image out next time it happens, though I usually end up dying from getting into desperate situations looking for antifungals before it gets to this point.

Damn, that's beautiful. I've never found one larger than a golf ball. Delicious sliced and sauteed in butter!

Where was this generally, if I may ask?

I did find a cauliflower mushroom this past Thanksgiving about the size of my chest though.. So great as noodles in a chicken broth soup!

This was before either of us knew about mycology so after this picture we put it back on the ground... 😔

I don't remember exactly where. At the time we were living in Asheville, NC, though, so that should give an idea of the general area

Aha, much much further south and east, maybe that has something to do with it.

White puffers grow all across North America IIRC, but I'm on West Coast Canada (Pacific Northwest but over the border). It's a lot cooler here.

I would freaking lose my mind if I found a puffer that big. Keep an eye out ;)

Yeah you could eat it. Or you could jump on it and make the biggest puff explosion of all time

I tried to fry one... Unfortunately not the best taste or smell in these big bois, the house reeked of it.

Cauliflower mushroom however is delicious! The bacon of the forest!

I too salute our mushroom overlords

[–] Gregorech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Still eating the puffball, the boyfriend not so much.....

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

Wait... what ? This is eatable ?! Who long did you feed on it ?
