Pyza Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Almost certain I found the death cap, but at the time didn't know. Picked it and added it to my basket because it looked interesting. Ultimately composted it, the gills werent fully exposed yet, should I be concerned of contamination with the spores? Only read one place that says the spores are 'extremely posinious' yet everywhere else I read it's just if you eat the mushroom itself yet sat nothing about the spores.

Pyza Posted October 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'm going with when in doubt throw it out. Though I am interested in if I was correct with my assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Almost certainly A. phalloides (Death Cap). What location is NL? Not sure what to say about the potential toxicity of spores. Personally, it would bother me if I toted around a basket of edibles together with A. phalloides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
