theberzh Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Mushrooms are popping like crazy here in CT. So much so that the guy up the street picked way more than he knew what to do with. He ended up driving some down to me later after dark. In his cooler, on top of the most beautiful Maitake was a pile of Jack O Lantern mushrooms. I know that Jack O Lanterns are poisonous so I'm not going to touch them. I don't know how long they were touching each other. They could have both been in the cooler all day long. Would you eat the Maitakes if they were delivered to you in this way? Even if you washed them really good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbenn Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 I think you need to actually eat the mushroom to be poisonous. If you can wash all of it off I would eat it, mind you spores will coat everything nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
