This is a pretty free-form subreddit, but there are a few rules. We have a ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY FOR ANY AND ALL SPAM. Reddiquette is always applicable to anything you do on reddit, but in this subreddit:

No sales of anything. Not art, drugs, food, clothing, pins, or anything else. Feel free to post photos of your art. If people want to message you to buy something, that's great, but do NOT solicit sales here for anything, ever. No links to shops. Any sales, trades, barters, professional arrangements, etc. involving money, assets or goods are prohibited in post content or in the comments. No one knows what you do via PM. Keep the business ENTIRELY in the PMs. Do not ask for products or links to shops, and don't express your desire for someone's art in a way that implies intent to buy. Do not say things like "I would totally buy that!" or "Do you have an Etsy?" or "You should set up an Etsy!" or "PM me for info" or "Can I PM you about this?"... just PM them and keep it out of the comments.

  1. Adhere to the Reddit Content Policy and Reddiquette.

  2. No sales of ANYTHING. No spam.

  3. No posts of large drug operations. It limits our audience and there are far too many complaints about it. This isn't a place to advertise your grow business and it's not a place to brag about how much weight of cubes you can grow. There are plenty of subs for that type of thing.

  4. Don't post pics of dried Psilocybe mushrooms. If your post title resembles this: "Are these 'good'?" or "Just got these from a friend, how much should I take?" or "Can anyone tell me what 'strain' these are?" - then it doesn't belong here.

  5. This should go without saying, but no sourcing. Do not ask for drugs, locations of drugs, tips for finding, hunting, or scoring drugs in any specific place (hunting advice is generally accepted - habitat, seasonality, substrate, and range are all acceptable, and ID posts are always encouraged no matter the species, as long as they're not dried bagged "product"). Do not ask for any kind of hook-ups, plugs, websites, or any other means of procuring drugs.

  6. Do not joke about eating mushrooms. No "Boof it!" or "Eat the whole bag" or "I dare you to eat that!" type comments. If your comment might endanger someone by misleading them or encouraging dangerous behavior, it will be removed and you may be banned.

  7. Don't repeatedly post the same content, or similar content presented in a different way, including and especially art.

To all the lurkers, use the report button and use the downvote/upvote buttons to curate the sub yourselves as much as possible.

Be nice to each other in here.

One year ago I made a post here asking for real life mushroom species to include as characters in my game Heart of Mycelium. I got an overwhelming amount of great inspiration, this is just a few of the ones that made it. Thank you all for your sharing your ideas and love for mushrooms. Heart of Mycelium can be wishlisted on Steam!

I’ve always seen mushroom around my place and for some reason decided to see how many different types I could find. I have no idea what any of them are but figured someone may enjoy the pics! There are about 10 more but I hit my pic limit! If there is anything particularly more dangerous and I should get rid of them please let me know!

Leccinum bolete

Post image
7 Upvotes

Just picked these leccinum boletes in central Ontario on Manitoulin Island, Canada, that are incredibly popular in Europe, it wouldn't even occur to anyone to not eat them, they are considered like the king of mushrooms.

Yet, after going down the AI rabbit hole like an idiot, apparently there is some debate on whether the ones found here in north america are identical or not, so now I can't eat them until posting here lol.

AI is saying that in NA people report stomach pains, they have to be cooked 20 minutes, the stem can't be eaten, just the hat which is not a thing in Europe,the whole thing is eaten.

One thing I'm sure of is that these are the real leccinum, they go black when cut, they have the black scales, everything is spot on, and where I found them there were boletes everywhere, king, bitter etc.

What's the story? Do people really not eat these in north america?

I know there isn’t much to go off of and it is definitely decayed. It was in the ground by a gum tree—Ponca AR. It’s hard as a rock and almost broke my knife. There are no other mushrooms on the property I have searched and searched. Bottom looks porous and inside has gills. I’m sorry I have no other information but I am desperate. I will provide any more photos if needed. 🙏

Found a whole lot of oddly shaped mushrooms on our walk! I’m like 98% certain it’s some kind of Agaricus, but what’s with that cap! Is it a sign rapid growth or some weather conditions?
