Thank you for sharing your valuable insights. I really appreciate this. I could not change the beneficiary rewards in this post, but I will do it from Mushroom Protocol 07 onwards. I did bite a piece and it had a sharp taste. More like a hot on the tongue. So I thought it must have been inedible. Learned the same at the association of mycological studies. It grew close to hazelnut trees. Also recognised it from the stem being similar to polystyrene.
Sometimes I get photos from friends and I always tell them I need a 360 degree look as it, smell it, feel it, maybe even break it.
The guessing made no sense. I don't know what I was thinking.
Correct. It was a Xerocomellus Crystenteron. Very close. Very common but the ones I found unfortunately all had worms. So no xerocomellus crysenteron for dinner that day.
Thank you as always for your kind support my friend.
ha! so you know that trick already ;))))
shrooms from this family are very soft (like all Boleto) - they easy and very fast become the harvest for worms, as my experience says. only very fresh ones, or ones that appear on a dry stony areas, can stand for a while without being infected with worms.
exactly so! I made last summer a picture about taking pics for identifying purposes (planned a very long how-to post... but still did nothing!)
feel free to use in your posts, if you'd feel you need it, just credit me.
