You're overly cautious. I've seen multiple mycologists chew and spit out very poisonous, or deadly poisonous mushrooms. I don't make a habit of tasting random mushrooms myself, but that is because i don't like having awful flavours in my mouth, or burning my tongue on peppery mushrooms.

You must be thinking of the Destroying Angel. The Death Cap has a brownish/greenish hue to the cap pileus.

i'm just glad no mushrooms i know of taste like twinberry. not only is it insipid and strong, but the taste can really stay in your mouth for hours.

I don't see any exclamation marks in his post...? Seems pretty calm to me.

Yes, we all makes mistakes, but try to select the poster you are replying to, so other people don't think you're addressing them.

Well cooking and chewing a death surely a pretty unwise idea since the most dangerous part in them are Aminitines, which are peptides that can't be destroyed by cooking them. That's what makes them so dangerous!
You better don't do that again! Chewing a small part of it, which wasn't even swallowed sure isn't deadly but gives you a good chance of a several hours in ass pain!
There's no Problem in eating fried Aminata Muscaria but Aminata Phalloides stays cooked almost as deadly as it is, when you try it fresh...

Amatoxin I'm sure knows this. I doubt she expected the cooked material to be any less poisonous than the fresh. Yet, as i said, many people taste and spit out poisonous mushrooms with NO negative results. It's not that dangerous, unless someone decided to slap you on the back or some stupid shit, and you swallowed it accidently. That'd be pretty fucked up.

I regularly chew unidentified fungi, it isn't dangerous at all if you spit it out. I have never tried a death cap, although i have chewed what i believe to be Galerina marginata without any negative effects at all.

To be honest even if you did swallow a bit that size i doubt it would do you huge damage, if we are talking about tiny pieces for taste testing. I wouldn't want to try it though :ooo:

Well, cooking a deathly mushroom for tasting it, sounds like the person thinks it'll kill the poisons, or why would you cook it at all? (It's a serious question :smile: )
I'd NEVER do it. Anyone who's interested in the taste of such mushrooms can do it, but one never knows for sure :wink:

I never taste any mushroom I suspect (or know) is dangerously poisonous.

There has been at least one known case of poisoning where a guy was tasting the peppery Russulas and spitting it out but must have tasted too many of them. The poisoning wasn't dangerous, but neither were the mushrooms tasted.

Since the taste of the deadly mushrooms isn't an important feature for identification, I don't bother with it. In general, the only reason for tasting a mushroom in the field is because the tasting will assist with the ID.

Happy mushrooming!

Generally, yes. I would agree. However, Amatoxin knows better than that. One of the "trusted identifiers" on this site, you know.

Ummm.... what the fuck??

I expect he is dead or in need of a liver transplant, if that was indeed a. phalloides.

Why did he take so long to chew it? Looked like he was gonna puke the whole time.

Really? I actually like the taste of the peppery red-come-purple Russulas species, if they were not poisonous i think they would be good flavourings in certain foods.
