@fascinatedbyfungi: Replying to @iluv_god6 Contrary to what you may have heard, it is safe to touch the majority of all mushrooms, including poisonous varieties. The toxins in mushrooms do not diffuse across skin. Thus the only way to get sick from a mushroom is by consuming it. There is one mushroom called Fire Coral (Podostroma) that contains trichothecene mycotoxins that can pass through skin, avoid touching this mushroom specifically. . There is no foolproof way to determine edible versus toxic mushrooms. Instead you have to learn each mushroom one by one. This may seem daunting, but imagine you’re playing an RPG and learning about each mushroom requires experience for you to level up. My content is designed to help you see and start to recognize many of the common toxic and edible mushrooms. . Unlike animals and plants, the color of mushrooms does not indicate their toxicity. Many of the most deadly mushrooms are relatively drab looking. Underneath the names of each type are the symptoms associated with poisoning by that specific mushroom. The majority of mushroom deaths come from people accidentally consuming deadly Amanitas. As a beginner forager you should always avoid Amanitas until you can learn to differentiate the various species and groups. That being said, the most famous and recognizable mushroom in the world Amanita muscaria is not deadly. It is simultaneously toxic, tr!ppy, and edible depending on how you prepare it. . I hope you enjoyed this quick compilation and learned something. . . . #mushroomedu #stem #sciencetok #mycology #poisonousmushroom #toxicmushrooms #toxic #fascinatedbyfungi #screammovie
