Agaricus Newbie

Agaricus Newbie (1/5)

  1. Sticky, you say? Could it possibly be a stinkhorn egg?
  2. I'm somewhat experienced with blushers. I definitely wouldn't eat the brown blusher, it's definitely poisonous but the rest of the blusher family is probably fine. The Amanita Eater though, I've seen growing on destroying angels. I absolutely will not touch any mushroom touched by it.
  3. 1left I have accidentally eaten a number of A. flavorubens/A. flavourubecens when mixed with other blushers and I haven't suffered ill effects. About a week ago I also (purposely) ate some. They taste fine, and I did not suffer poisoning. I'm interested in finding some more, but there's been a spell of dry weather recently. My theory is that a majority of "yellow blusher" poisonings are due to confusion with the fly agaric and yellow patches. There aren't any reports of amatoxins in yellow blushers, and it seems that the reported toxins are muscarine and ibotenic acid, which can apparently be cooked out. You already are supposed to cook blushers very well because they are dangerous to consume when raw. Tldr: I eat A. flavorubens/flavourubecens and I've personally not suffered any I'll effects. Several mushroom guides have disputed reports, some calling it choice, some calling it poisonous, and some calling it into question because of the mixed reports.
  4. Well...my biggest concern would be mixing them with Yellow Blushers which are of unknown edibility (disputed edibility reports, I think they're most likely due to confusion with Yellow Patches, and Fly Agarics, as far as I know all American Blushers are definitely edible except the Yellow Blusher). As long as a Blusher blushes red and has no yellow tints on the stipe or ring, it's probably one of the several varieties of American Blushers.
  5. Definitely. The mushrooms I found today (posted in the other forum) are definitely Blushers. They exhibit pink to red staining, have reddish coloration on the stipe, and all have the flushed cap colors.
  6. Hi all, I went on a walk today and I was not disappointed! American Blushers galore!
  7. I'm no expert at identifying mushrooms but that's definitely a Russula of some sorts!
  8. Sampled it last night, was delicious. No I'll effects or hallucinating. Rules out a panther cap or fly agaric, which is pretty much the only thing they would look like. Thanks Dave! I just wanted to double check. These mushrooms are everywhere right now, I'll have to gather some more...
  9. Hi all! I've been a mushroom Hunter for roughly 10 years now. I've recently got more into hunting for edible Amanita mushrooms. I believe I have an Amanita amerirubecens which as you know is a type of Blusher, but I want to double check. Sorry it's somewhat destroyed, it was being bashed by my boletes I had collected! It definitely had a ring and more warts on the cap when I picked it, if that's any help. Picked in Connecticut, in a mixed wood forest. Mushroom was found growing under oaks. I know it's an Amanita at any rate! Any help in ID'ing this mushroom is appreciated!
