I'm no good at identifying boletes, but typically you can count on blue-staining ones to be inedible. Very good description though. Cudos.

um, i thought blue bruising is good? i dont know if by boletes you are talking about a weird species of mushroom, but blue bruising is good on alot of mushrooms.

thats not a mushroom, its a bolette.
its funny how people can know the 'bluing" idea, but not have a basic understanding of muhrooms and expect to find anything.
you can't just know one little thing. it will get you dead.

A mushroom with spongey pores instead of gills is generally considered a bolet, none of whice have been known to be psychoactive. Bolets that stain blue do so from a poisonous chemical reaction that is NOT related to psilocin. There are a select few that are edible (and even choice gourmet) that stain blue, but yours is not one of them.

Bolete is a classification of fungi which have spongy pores under the cap. There are several genre and innumerable species of Boletes. Many are good edibles but none are known to be active. Many of the yellow and red boletes are poisonous, especially the ones which bruise blue.

not for our purposes. not anymore than a puffball, truffle, morel, or reishii.
they are fruiting bodies of fungi. set apart from evrything above mentioned however, the word 'mushroom' would represent gilled, capped, stemmed, fruiting bodies of fungi

You have a very narrow perception of what a mushroom is. By definition "mushrooms" are fleshy spore-bearing structures of certain fungi, typically of the class Basidiomycetes. This includes various agarics, boletes, polypores, puffballs, jelly fungi etc. They're all "mushrooms".

And so you should be.
The term 'mushroom' is hardly one delineated by strict scientific consensus, and according to its precise context can encompass a number of more specific or more general groupings. These groupings are based on traits related to (a) edibility - in contrast to 'toadstool' - (b) taxonomic or phylogenetic placement, and (c) various morphological criteria. CABI's standard mycological dictionary gives several informal and flexible definitions.
So it seems, Ivi, that perhaps you are the one with a too narrow perception of the definition of 'mushroom', which I trust will remain a wonderfully adaptive and context-dependent word.

Yes I am aware of that, but according to any of these groupings Mitchnast's perception of "mushrooms" as "gilled, capped, and stemmed fruiting bodies of fungi" is narrow at it's best.

Call me crazy but I find Mitchnast's claim that boletes are not mushrooms absurd.

But something tells me you'd defend Mitchnast even if he declared that boletes are elephants.

I think mushroom defines a gill producing basidiomycete. You would use this in a similar manner as bolete, or chanterelle. Basidiomycetes encompass mushrooms, chanterelles, boletes, earthstars, puffballs, tooth fungi, birds nest fungi and polypores. Most of the big fungus we hunt for are therefore basidiomycetes. However, there are plenty of ascomycetes like morel, and some genera of wood ears that are tasty. I suggest that you never again equate bruising blue with edibility, that's good way to poison yourself. Also, the contrasting yellow stem and red cap scream - "don't eat me or I'll put you in a world of pain."

"There is a world beyond ours, a world that is far away, nearby, and invisible. And there is where God lives, where the dead live, the spirits and the saints, a world where everything has already happened and everything is known. That world talks. It has a language of its own. I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand. I ask them and they answer me. When I return from the trip that I have taken with them, I tell what they have told me and what they have shown me."

There was an article posted here a while ago regarding a psychoactive species of bolete in New Guinea (I think). From what I remember it didn't have the regular psilocybin/psilocin but something else, and the manicy trip lasted over 24 hours. I just googled it and couldn't find anything though.
