Clonidine
I’m just a person who does mycology for fun.


Clonidine


I would guess you’re thinking of the white dapperling (Leucocoprinus leucothites). That one is supposed to be a pretty mediocre edible to begin with, absolutely not worth all the poisonous lookalikes it has.


I get ya, I’ve dropped several mushrooms because a surprise slug on the bottom was a little too close to my finger.


There’s other differences as well such as death caps having a ring on the stem and a thicker cap which lacks the striation you see on the paddy straw mushroom (Vovariella sp.) and the edible Amanitas (grisettes, cocorras, etc.).
They have deadly Amanitas in Asia too and they have many of the same features so Asian foragers should already know how to tell them apart.



A sudden uptick like this makes me think that AI photo ID apps may be to blame. They’re nortoriously bad at identifying mushrooms partially because it’s impossible to ID many mushrooms from a single photo which is unlikely to show all the features needed.


That’s an Amanita, not an Agaricus.


Mostly you want to wash your hands because mushrooms tend to be covered in dirt/leaves/duff.


Which Agaricus will kill you? I’m not aware of any in the PNW.
Edit: I think I remember having this conversation before, you’re using “Agaricus” to mean “all gilled mushrooms” like it’s the 18th century instead of what it actually means today.


I mean, in the main canon he joined the Klingon Navy on the front lines of the Dominion war which is basically the same thing. I don’t think Worf even checked if he survived.


I think neither of you have any idea what life as an adult will be like for you or what kind of adults you’ll end up being. That means you have no idea if the kind of adults you become will still belong together. You can stay committed to each other through this period while you find out without signing a legal document that’s expensive and emotionally painful to undo.
Having a family is great, but it’s not enough to define an entire person. You both would be happier knowing who you are aside from your family first.


Accountable in the sense that they need someone to say “my bad, I’ll go away now” and pick up their contractually negotiated giant sack with a dollar sign on their way out the door.

It’s an even older pre-internet meme, I heard it about Prince before Manson and I’ve heard from some older folks that they used to say the same thing about Rod Stewart.
Sort of, cremini and white button are at the same stage of growth, the white ones are a sort of albino strain that doesn’t develop the brown scales. Having a “bald version” and a “scaly version” is actually relatively common amongst Agaricus species for some reason.
I found and ate some grey knights just the other day but I’d need better photos to be able to confirm/de-confirm your ID here.


You didn’t even need to see the movie, that scene was in the trailer which was was everywhere at the time
Mushrooms were considered plants until the 70s, maybe they just had outdated textbooks in school.
Start with an oyster grow kit, oysters are pretty foolproof because of how aggressive they are.
Don’t get golden oysters, those are too aggressive and are escaping and becoming invasive.
Amazing photo!


Looks Gloeophyllum sepiarium the “rusty gilled polypore” or “conifer mazegill”.
Developers don’t have unions so we often just get left out of the credits anyways.
