cook whatever is giving those fumes off and no more problem.
If some compound is giving a certain group trouble... then cooking that out of the mushrooms with prolonged cooking should render it edible...

Coprinus micaceus sometimes have a scent I would characterize as not unlike volatile fumes which make me ill. Even smelling a bunch of them fresh. I wonder if there's something to this along those lines.
On an unrelated note, I've heard the volatiles in california bay make some people faint. I use them as a bay laurel substitute and when camping/hiking in areas were they grow as a deodorant.

Yeah, wtf?
I've thoroughly cooked Psilocybe cubensis and still felt plenty of its effects...Obviously some compounds don't come out with cooking.

I think limetroll is thinking more narrowly in terms of volatile essential oils in particular. Also, though; has troll in name.

lol,
In case anyone is interested in a follow up... I did not harvest the fungus, and thus did not eat it.
There seems to be a lot of controversy about whether or not fungi grown on eucalyptus should be eaten...

Yes, but it's minor controversy.

There is no mycological controversy minor enough that we will refrain from bickering about it at the Shroomery.

I'm not a hunter but I'm told...
A baby koala first meal is it's mum's poo. Without the microbe's obtained from this first meal the koala baby would be unable to digest the eucalyptus it eats. If our guts are our microbe gardens then maybe our subjective reaction to eating mushrooms has much to do with the particular ecosystem we have growing inside of us.
Peace
