mfd101 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 They grow in our back yard, usually after rain. My b/f says poisonous. We don't touch, just take photos to place on Fbk and wow them in Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonray Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I you don't know what you're doing...do not eat any mushroom. Some very toxic ones look very similar to edible varieties. The consequences could destroy your liver in 12 hours....i mean destroy. Get an expert or buy them commercially prepared. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please Note: The "not available in my country" is in regards to the 'country' your phone's google user account is registered (and hence the google play store country you're account is set to use), and not the current country or provider sim card being used by your device. Even so, if you didn't get that message you probably would have gotten the one I got (on my Xiaomi Mi A2-lite AndroidOne) : X This app is incompatible with your device 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it about 20 times on mushrooms from the market, tame and wild, all edible as sold. And another 20-30 times out hiking in the jungle, mixture of edible and poisonous. It got one wrong, marked poisonous, when it was edible (the misses ate it to demonstrate and survived). I'd just use it to select which mushrooms to bring home for the misses to identify and eat.

Iron Tongue Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 In Europe and US, those look like Death Cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides), which is why some SE Asians abroad die horribly every year when they pick & eat the wrong mushrooms.

finewine Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks for all the replies. Looks as if they are safe to eat. They certainly don't last long. The ones in the photograph are already brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I would not advise ever eating mushrooms you pick in the wild. There are poisonous varieties that look almost identical to non poisonous ones. When I worked in the refugee camps on the Thai-Cambodian border we had many mass admissions (whole extended families) from mushroom poisoning because apparently the mushrooms people were finding in the area (this was in Sakeo and Surin provinces) looked just like non-poisonous varieties they knew in Cambodia. They weren't, and scores of these people died as a result. There seemed to be 2 types of toxin that were getting ingested in mushrooms, one just caused a severe gastrointestinal illness and we could usually save them, the other was a neurotoxin and we could do nothing. I have vivid memories of manually ambuing people (breathing for them with a hand held resuscitator) in respiratory arrest -- young people -- all night long and eventually having to stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
