Black spore print==safe to eat?
    #9124850 - 10/24/08 01:33 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

I recently found a mushroom patch (I live in Hawaii) that produces mushrooms with these features:
Gills: Black
Cap: Brown/white with a gold tip
Stem: Brown

I took a couple home and made some spore prints, it was black. I showed it to a friend who told me that if you have a black spore print it means the mushroom is safe to eat so I should test it by eating it.

I doubt what he is saying so I am asking you guys if this is a bad idea before doing doing it. And if you are able to ID it that would be cool too (Though I understand that is kind of hard with out a picture).

Its true that all mushrooms with black spore prints are safe to eat.  There just don't happen to be any toxic species with black prints, those genera are safe.  Except for Coprinopsis atramentaria but that is perfectly safe as long as you don't drink any alcohol that week.

But unless its staining blue where damaged I wouldn't really recommend eating it as its unlikely to be active. 

What was the mushroom growing on?

Post some pics if you can.

Wow sorry for being an ass...I just learned something there. It just seemed like a preposterous idea. Thats a great fact to know.

Don't worry, it sounded stupid to me as well, I wouldn't even have posted it if not that I usually trust my friend (I just thought I should be cautious about ingesting potentially dangerous things).

Hey Imesh,

What island do you live on? Can you get me some pics of it? I have a great book called 'mushrooms of hawaii' that is a comprehensive list of hawaiian mushroom species, with pics and everything.
