He's anyone ever experienced food poisoning like symptoms after consuming ovoids? I dried and powedered the ones that I found below and last night my girlfriend and i took about 4 grains of rice worth of the powder and about 4 hours later she was up puking. It very well could have been other factors as her stomach was bugging her throughout the day but i just wanted to allay any fears she may have so she isn't worrying all day.

Finally found them! There were maybe 100 or so but I only grabbed a few because I didn't really see bruising on a lot of them. Problem is now my gf wont eat them because she thinks we will go into a coma from chemicals on the woodchips.
I'm gonna go back soon and grab some more!









I will also be putting stem butts in some different mulch patches around me.

No offense, but some people seem to pick really old ovoids. Could be the decomposition that's causing stomach trouble. Some people happily pick mushrooms I consider rotten and would only eat if dying of hunger.

Just my view.

Yeah....desperate people do desperate things. I would at least make a hot tea out of them if that's all you can find. At least that will kill some of the nasties.

I checked one of my Maryland spots tonight and was pleasantly surprised. The lesser celandine is pretty much dead now and some ovoids have been able to poke through. I think the 2nd flush is starting and have noticed more growing directly out of the debris piles. Will post pics later.

Love that long stemmed variety!  I usually see those trying to find their way out of the celendine.  It's so crazy how they wind their way thru the vegetation to reach the light.  Sweet finds!!
