Finnish guys are like this with morels but love literal poison damage Gyromitas and Lactarius

Am I the only naturalist who thinks morels taste like burnt dirt? I've had em probably half a dozen times and they consistently rank at the bottom of all foraged mushrooms. I just don't get it

@chadwaytweety I saw someone call it a "survival mushroom" which I like. Nontoxic like 99% of polypores, and it's not too tough to chew and digest, but insubstantial and probably doesn't taste like anything
English
@geosiphon Edible in early growth? Obviously not for trypophobes regardless

@coughdropsh Northern red oak for sure (or anything in the red oak group, my picture might be black oak). Springtime has me thinking about ramps and bloodroot, probably my favorite ephemerals

Everybody please tell me your three favorite plants. I am simply dying to know.

@TemmieMew @fag_daughter But those sort of have a particular range so it really would depend on the location for me to determine who it is… but this looks very very alike to the fruits of the Fremont cottonwood

@Oroborous2 @mattsutaaki Yeah I'm not gonna mess with those ones. Only found one before and they're pine associates so not common at all in my area. Messed up part is that it's traditionally eaten in Finland, you can buy it canned, and "esculenta" means edible lol
English
@geosiphon @mattsutaaki Lol fuk all that
"Its super delicious you just gotta boil them a while with GOOD VENTILATION and then lots of salt and onions and butter but remember to REMOVE THE FUCKING MYCO POISON OK? BUT yeahhhhh super GOOD"
HAHAHA nooooope

@mattsutaaki @Oroborous2 Not sure if there's anything on removing gyromitrin but the research on which species have it is here: aldendirks.com/research.html
English
@geosiphon @Oroborous2 yeah, one of those things I'd *really* like to see some actual Science about
English
@mattsutaaki @Oroborous2 Boiling like 10-15 minutes with good ventilation, changing out the water and doing it again. Might not even remove it enough I've heard
English
@geosiphon @Oroborous2 never tried any of them myself, but gyromitrin is removed by par-boiling, isn't it?
