Next, what is this. Mushroom ID.
 

These have been appearing. I have tow small dogs and they like to chew. I pull them as soon as I see them.

Anyone an expert?

Curious as to how toxic they are to the mutts?:eek:

What's it taste like?

I don't know one mushroom from another but I think my mini labradoodle is addicted to them. I have to watch him close. It's a big nuisance.--Dave

Not magic.

I think those ones are a no no. Have you tried licking it?

Try a nibble... give it a hour or two... if you find yourself conversing with your ancestors toss it out.

Funny but my mom, who's an avid mushroom hunter, used to do just that back when we were kids. If she couldn't identify it, she would cut off a piece and nibble on it and, yes, wait two hours...if all was well, we would have mushroom X soup that night! BTW, she is very much alive and well to this day at 83 as are all of my siblings!!

Her general rule of thumb is that if the underside is a light colour...off white, light brown...they're probably safe. If they're reddish, orange, yellow = avoid.

I get those types in my yard all the time Patz and they're pretty tasty when grilled with butter (what isn't?) BUT I've heard dogs shouldn't eat mushrooms of any type fwiw!

"Why did you shoot her?"

"She wouldn't eat the mushrooms!"

Well one has a nasty case of the squirts and no appetite.

damn, if a Porsche forum can't make a consensus on mushrooms,
how can I possibly ask about cognac???

A generic cognac probably won't shut down your liver (in moderation).

I know of generic beer

What is this generic cognac your speak of????

I once bought a 12 pack of Pabst, its the only beer that I poured 11-3/4 beers down the drain.

Ever do Brew 102?

That's not generic, this is generic.

My friend is a park ranger. He told me a Vietnamese family collected some shrooms from the park and ate them. Kidney failure for everyone.

I don't mess with wild fungus. Not yet. But I do want to take a foraging course.

You do know that 'Pabst' is the new kewl beer for the hipsters right?

Welcome to 2005. SmileWavy

FYI you P's, it's called PBR.

I knew some crazy bastad's who would cook any mushrooms along with sloe vodka. Notice I said 'knew'. Not a chance would I touch anything they made. Not quite sure but they must have some nuclear stomach acids.

For such a diverse country, really weird though how picky American recipes to this day seem conservative. Many country's utilize far more plants or animal parts for human consumption. Yet, I've found a grocer selling cattle eye's and tongue. The pickled pigs feet is acceptable.

It still sucks.

That's like the Kirkland 48 pack they sell at Costco. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Kirkland beer.

PBR has been a staple in the local redneck crowd forever. Lots of livers and livelihoods hang above the Pabst fireplace.

PBR blows. Almost as much as the 130lb. faux lumberjack chugging it.

I read somewhere that they spend 50% of their advertising budget in Portland.

I think that is the one that makes you taller.
Ask Alice, I think she will know.

Looks like an amanita - look at the pics here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_poisoning
I don't know anything about the mushrooms except amanita is the classic one that causes liver failure and death in a few days. Oh, and they're white on the bottom. I think in general it is better to buy them at whole foods or whatever.

"The Rock" had a dog just pass after a backyard mushroom snack.

Watch out!

I can't find that stuff or any malt around here.

Kinda hard to make a Brass Monkey without the good stuff.

The main issue is that it is not open and you cannot see the underside. That is important to have for ID. Even the online tool posted checks the underside as one of the first identifiers.

I would never pick mushrooms away from home - home meaning where my forefathers picked them and handed the knowledge down the family. Often the issue starts when people are moving to another country and think they recognize an edible mushroom from their homeland. But it isn't ...

Serious mushroom poisoning is brutal, as usually, by the time you find out, there is nothing that can be done to save you. Your organs are mush.

Here some color to Vash's story:

AmericanMushrooms.com - The Death Cap Mushroom (Amanita phalloides)

I'm pretty sure that one's a 1-Up.

Oh man...my 7 year old Airedale had the same symptoms along with drinking a lot of water. We took him to the vet thinking he ate a mushroom or deer crap in he woods. Wrong. He has lymphoma. Have your vet check your dogs calcium levels and over enzymes..I hope you do better than Jack did....

They are fine now. No residual symptoms. I remove any new growths ASAP.

that's good..

When I used to hunt wild mushrooms with my FIL he taught me a simple rule. If you don't know what it is, it could kill you.
