Just thought its worth mentioning, ive read a warning for just about every single gourmet/ edible  mushrooms species that i have noted that they may cause negative effects. With none of these species have i experienced any of these supposed potential negative effects. I think its mostly people being paranoid, having a weak stomach, or eating under cooked mushrooms.

Ive never heard of anybody poisoning themselves from eating morels or truffles with proper identification. Chances are the food and drink you buy in the store and consume daily has way worse crap in it than these natural products. If i found some morels or truffles in an apple orchard i would munch away personally.

Favorite quote: I want to know if they are active and magic or not. And if they are not active, can i pick them before they are active and then they will become active or do they have to grow till they activate?

Last year my boyfriend and I picked some morels in an area that was trashed. When we cooked them they started to exude this horrible smell, like diesel. I gave them a taste and they had definitely absorbed something toxic and I spit them out.

There is a BBQ cart in Portland that 30 or more morels fruit under every year. No matter how tempting, I will not pick and eat those mushrooms.

I think with all food intake should be carefully thought through, especially foraged foods.

Agreed. We don't worry about eating potatoes, even though sometimes they contain neurotoxins, or strawberries and peanuts, even though some people are allergic (and you can even develop a new allergy after being fine with the same food before). No sense worrying more about a similar level of risk just because it's a mushroom instead of a plant and our culture is more comfortable with plants.

No offense, OBS, but I think you should take the danger of heavy metal contamination more seriously.  This isn't a matter of nervous eaters with weak stomachs, this is a matter of elements that have no business being in our food at any level. 

Apple orchards used to be sprayed with lead arsenate, which contains lead and arsenic, as a pesticide (I'm fucking floored that people thought this was a good idea).  Some of the lead and arsenic was washed away or seeped into the water table, but it still remains in the soil in disturbingly high amounts. 

Considering this, I would be leery of eating morels from any orchard, and definitely not eat from one I know had been sprayed in the past.  I would also definitely not feed orchard morels to children, as the lead can really fuck with their brain development.

Here's a study: http://www.fungimag.com/winter-2010-articles/shavit-morels.pdf
