Bad advice, false morels should not be eaten. They should not be considered safe when parboiled.

I'm not telling anyone to do it. Eating anything cooked that is poisonous when raw is goddamned stupid, or at least a potential risk. Still, they are sold in some countries (with warnings), and so that's a pretty good basis for saying they can indeed be prepared safely.

Whether or not some putz on the internet knows how to parboil something properly is another matter, but again, not my problem; he can get this information anywhere.


Coda: Talking about hyperhydration? Okay, I guess that's a point, but it does involve an absolutely ridiculous quantity of water intake, enough that internal damage would probably occur before you actually caused an electrolyte imbalance. That's excluding the case of a pre-existing electrolyte deficiency... e.g. I've heard of it happening from someone who's been sweating all day (ALL day) with no water, then drank two gallons straight, etc.

Even still I've always heard death from hyperhydration is super-rare. But I guess it's just a tangent anyway.
