I knowingly ate magic mushrooms 30 years ago to try to be part of the "in" crowd at the time.  Oh my goodness, the paranoia and fear I felt for many hours was something that I can remember vividly to this day.  It messed with my mind badly and I never did anything so stupid again. :(

I wouldn't eat any mushroom on that basis.  I ate magic mushrooms given to me in good faith and had such screaming ab dabs I can't tell you

They were delish but it's just too risky.  Go out foraging with someone who knows what they are doing

That's funny, I never did mushies but a lot of my mates did and they all said they were disgusting!

there isonly 1 you can mix this up eith and thats the yelloow stainer. When you cut the mushroom, always cut- never pull, your thumb will leave a mark on the cap -bright yellow!. If that mark is there its a yellow stainer. Bin it!

I have found 2 in 15 years of finding and eating mush!

95% sure is ont good eneough. With any wild mush you need to be 100%.

We had mushrooms growing on our compost heap and really thought they were field mushrooms.  On further investigation online found out about yellow stainers so cut them to double check.  It was a good job I did as they were yellow stainers.   :ohmy:
