In his defense, I don't think he was talking about himself and was just trying to be helpful to you. Maybe if you weren't so sensitive you could see that the people here intend to help you.

Most of us are amateurs like you, and we'll say so openly. But there are people on this site who are experts at mushroom identification. They're not being full of themselves, they're being accurate.

What the fuck are you talking about? I never claimed to be an expert, I couldnt tell you what the fuck kind of mushroom that is.
Any user on here who has 'Trusted Identifier' under their Username is an Expert. Is Trusted.
Get the fuck outa here with that bullshit I and the rest are trying to help you and give you good advice.

Yeah, midnightcity is a trusted identifier and if I posted some pics and info about a shroom I would trust his opinion. Not trying to be a dick but a lot of people on here ARE experts, possibly even mycologists. Do yourself a favor and wait for someone with a trusted identifier label to tell you what you're thinking about eating.

maybe it wasn't the sort of toxic mushroom that makes you sick, but the type that makes you think everyone is a dick.
protip: if someone thinks everyone else is a dick or being mean or rude or assholes, it's probably not everyone else that is the issue.

Yeah everyone here just wants to help dude. You gotta understand that chomping on mushrooms you aren't sure of is reckless and stupid. I'm sorry if we don't sugar coat it for you. No need to lash out at people like we are the assholes. Be safe.

Can safely say that makes no sense, you called people 'morons' yet eat unidentified potentially deadly mushrooms just because 'they're going to rot and might get me high'.
How dare you call anyone else a moron with that mindset, i mean really?
They ain't dicks at all they're giving you potentially life saving information, you said you're new, they told you not to eat random shit before you know what it is, you made yourself look like an idiot.

Kindly cease hurling insults at others when you're the one doing moronic things.

With each containing one of the following: Cyanide... Psilocin... Would you take the risk? Didn't think so. This is why Positive Identification prior to consumption is important.

The first couple replies were certainly helpful, and before your comment that you ate it the direction this thread was going in was to help you identify the mushrooms you found - exactly what you asked for. That said, eating a find without positive identification is exactly the type of thing that will make people stop taking you seriously. Obviously you are still alive, and most mushrooms are not poisonous, but even fewer mushrooms have psychedelic properties. Unless my understanding is flawed, an unknown mushroom is more likely to be poisonous than to be psychoactive. As a result, my view (and that of many others here) is that it is foolish to eat an unknown mushroom. I'm not trying to insult you or be a dick, I'm just trying to explain why this thread blew up in your face the way it did. I think education, not ridicule, is the proper first response when someone who is new to any hobby does something dangerous or foolish, so I hope you don't feel insulted when I say that. If you exercise more caution in the future I'm sure most here won't hold this thread against you, and as you learn more you'll have great experiences to look forward to. That's a positive thing. I'm new here too and my experiences on this forum so far have been just fine.

I tried to give her an ID in this other thread for these same mushrooms, before she posted that she ate them. I generally try to be helpful and a nice guy.
She needs to act like a responsible adult and not flip shit on people for pointing out that she did something stupid. She came here looking for advice and we gave it to her, I'm not here to coddle people.

lets just all agree its the internetz, feelings cant be on shoulders. that said tho, everyone here just wants to help in thier own way. eating unidentified mushrooms can be very dangerous, i think people can be harsh about that because they care about your well being and dont want someone to die by eating an unidentified mushroom when its 100% avoidable by coming here and asking for help to ID wich the goal is to provide you with accurate information so you can make knolagble desicions
spelling is overrated

I know, and I totally realize that you and the others trying to help weren't the ones who first copped an attitude. I was just thinking from the point of, like, if she reads this maybe she can put it in the past and have a good experience here.
See how naive I am?
