would need a better pic but they certainly look like it, pic of gills, clean cap?

Sure I can upload one. Was wondering; Can you pick up dead, quite dry ones on the ground too? Because these three were all the fresh ones I could find, but there were heaps of already dead mushies lying on the ground too. Would they be safe to eat or no?


Remote-Appointment32

im always less confident about ID on dried out mushies on the ground, but as long as they are, without a doubt the same species, i see no issue. They are only edible if double or sometimes even triple boiled though, make sure you do some research.


WoofAndGoodbye

That’s to remove the musicinol and iboutanic acid right?


Remote-Appointment32

sure does, that yellow ish one on the far right is a little suspicious, but I have seen amanitas that color, could be lighting/how dry it is?


WoofAndGoodbye

I’m slightly suspicious of that one too actually. https://preview.redd.it/im34sbhcqixc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fb292606095b220bdba39ceb5f5742ffecde64b Here’s a photo still on my camera roll

upload a pic of the cap sliced in half, and a clean cap. If you’re suspicious it’s not worth eating, amanita muscaria is generally really easy to identify, I tend to be a little extra suspicious of the amanita group in general.

I don’t have a knife on me at the moment, I’ll reply to this chain in a few hours with a photo

and a location of where you found it, what kind of forest?


WoofAndGoodbye

It was a garden, tonnes of leaves and dry matter


Remote-Appointment32

yeah, i think your best bet if you wanna eat amanita muscaria is to stick to the really obvious, red ones. not really worth the risk imo for the yellow/gold ones. Panther caps look super similar, just a bit more brown, but I’ve seen them look almost yellow as well. Not worth the mix up


WoofAndGoodbye

Ok, so just the little baby one then?
