Great! Just rehydrating now.....j/kHow are you feeling today?
Serious question.
The hallucinogenic chemicals this mushroom contain are muscimol and ibotenic acid.Was listening to MeatEater this week.
If it looks like you can throw it in Mario Cart - stay away. Not lethal but not fun when you get sick on them. (Only one death in over 100 years of research.)

Today’s reality is all the bad trip I can handle.They basically said it was a "bad trip mushroom, at best." The trip you get is NOT pleasant. And if you ingest too much, you get really really sick. One dude DID die of the things back in the 1800's. Is it any wonder that they use it in Mario and Mario Cart????

I never got a chance to cook them up unfortunately as we packed up for the beach and I won’t get to until Weds. I’ve eaten some “iffy” ones and the Scarlatina Bolete is another one I love. It’s red and stains blue. Grilled in olive oil, salt, and pepper on a piece of tin foil = perfection.
It’s a form of slime mold.View attachment 507083

This is Witch’s Butter which can be Tremella (on hardwood branch) or Dacramyces (on hemlock).

Found this in my Bolete patch...4 days ago my patch was 'hoovered' by some critter...yesterday; I found a bigger patch in the same area nice size shrooms today just got home from the VA and in the all disappeared from the spot.....weasel in the woodpile
I started to watch this yesterday but apparently I need to take some mushrooms first to enjoy the cinematography
Thought you kidding....but it is, 'Old man of the Woods' (bolete genus)....Growing within 2 feet of the red boletesOld man of the woods. A choice edible.
Cut it open and see if the bugs got to it first. Most likely they did.Thought you kidding....but it is, 'Old man of the Woods' (bolete genus)....Growing within 2 feet of the red boletes
You inspired me to go find some old men of the woods today. Found a few fresh ones with the veil still intact, a chanterelle, a painted suillus, king bolete, and a dotted stalk suillus. Notice the pink bruising when the old man is cut.The bugs ( larva ) migrated from the base to the cap in my red Boletes in 2-3 days of germinating.
That dotted stalk scuillus is everywhere this year. How are you cooking it?You inspired me to go find some old men of the woods today.

I’ve been using my outdoor grill so far this year. I’ve either cooked them in a tinfoil dish with salted butter or a tinfoil dish with olive oil and S&P. When the weather is colder I will transition to more indoor cooking with stews, braised meats, slow cooker, etc. I’m not a big fan of pasta but a lot of fungi go best with pasta dishes, particularly king bolete.That dotted stalk scuillus is everywhere this year. How are you cooking it?
Does it turn the the rest of the dish food blackish ? Guy on YouTube mentioned itOld Man of The Woods is reallly tasty btw.
