Gallerina Identification Experiment
    #21747469 - 06/01/15 06:37 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hi all,
Ive been watching mushrooms for a few years now but its my first year picking, i get a little paranoid.

I thought it would be good to get familiar with the not so pleasant varieties. I think just as much or if not more important than being able to identify the ones your intending to find.

I found what I believe to be Gallerina Marginata one day, on a log. It had similar colours to a sub, different growing conditions, excuse the term if its incorrect but the little centre cone had a dimple, more like a little nipple. I picked it, handled it, smelt it, it was offensive, I could taste it through smell, It didn't taste palatable, kinda toxic and not sweet like subs. it had yellow/orange annulus and yellow gills. It made me uncomfortable to carry it around with me in my basket, separated from my other catch, Nonetheless it was unsettling for me, a noob.

I done a spore print just to seem for myself the colour. its rust brown.

From what I can understand its not dangerous to handle and smell poisonous mushrooms, can anyone confirm this, well i think its ok? i didn't get sick

Wondering how well everyone gets to know other varieties, id like to get to know all the varieties of mushrooms that grow where I frequent

That looks indeed like Galerina marginata, yes.

Caution is required when you're hunting. Carelessness when picking is usually what can make hunting dangerous, and thus
make unwanted species end up in the same bag as edible or psychedelic ones. If you carefully check the visible features of
a Galerina sp. against those of a Psilocybe, the differences are usually quite obvious. If you're in doubt about a mushroom,
chuck it out.

It is not dangerous to touch or smell Galerina marginata.

It would help knowing what location you go hunting to provide you ideas of toxic lookalikes. I assume your after subs though and you've pretty much got it down, Galerina is the one you want to avoid like the plague and has a much darker/browner stem, orangey-brown gills and an annulus. Another slight lookalike is hypholoma which can have fuzzy white shit on their stem (some edible, some not)

Best as a noob to get spore prints of all the ones you will ingest just to be doubly sure they're the right ones and of course get TI's to confirm which from your thread I'm sure you would do.

In terms of learning other varities, buy an illustrated mushroom field guide and bring it with you on hunts otherwise take pics of everything and share them here (also cross check with your book) to get ID'd and you'll gain a better idea over time.

Don't know much about handling/smelling poisonous shrooms, sure it won't kill you though. I believe toxicity mainly occurs through ingestion by damaging liver/kidney as they can't break down the toxin or whatever it is that is toxic in the shroom and so destroys/attacks the organ. The wiki entry on mushroom poisoning is interesting. Happy hunting :smile:
