Heyho, mushroom farmer here. first of all most of the mushroom shown at the begining are eadable. second: you will NOT die from touching ANY mushroom (but you can get iritations from under five documented mushrooms in more than 10.000.000) last of all the most toxic mushroom in the northern hemosphre ( and anywere else) the the death cap. you can touch it but never eat it. when going out foraging go with a guid, and I highly recommend doing it, it's fun.
@@notyourtypicalcomment2399 yea, go with a guide. don't use ai generated foraging books or apps. tl;dr real live needs real knowledge, don't eat mushrooms or plants you don't know... PS: your best of to not eat anything from the genus Amanita... even if there are some psychoactive good ones
This is nearly all malarky. You can chew a piece of poisonous mushroom and spit it out and it won't harm you. Taste is one of the ways you can identify look-alikes. Videos like this hurt real information, and scares people from exploring the living creatures around them. There's one rule to follow: Don't eat anything you don't 100% know what it is. The mushroom in the thumbnail is a Bleeding Tooth Fungus. It's not toxic. It's too bitter for anyone to want to eat it, but the red liquid has anticoagulant properties and can be used as a natural blood thinner.
The photos, and what is presented in words is informative. But the dramatizations are annoying to such extent that they greatly detract from the presentation. They provide a classical example, validating the statement that what does not add, detracts.
Great! Just what we need down here in Australia, to be told that there is even more things that can kill you. No wonder we grow up relatively fearless. 🇦🇺
@Raga985 It's not worth it. The amount of studying you would have to do is insanely. I there are more than seven hundred types of fungi, and plenty of the toxic or dangerous fungi look like the edible ones.
Many mushrooms containing amatoxin (i.e. death cap & destroying angel) are quite easy to spot. The bulbous shape at the bottom of the stem is a characteristic used to identify them. Thus: always dig a bit and look whether its present. Oh and generally: Don't eat mushrooms you're not 100% certain to have identified correctly. Every year, there's a few people in Europe who pick death cap instead of Macrolepiota procera ("parasol mushroom") and die in agony…
Many things in this video are not remotely true. Grown many mushrooms and studied them recreationally for years. You can touch all types of mushrooms but amatoxin and other mushrooms toxins aren't absorbed transdermally. Very few create skin irritation and some have dangerous spores that are toxic to inhale. it seems people make YT videos with no research done into the subject they are creating videos for. I shook my head at this video as an amateur/intermediate mushroom forager and grower. I would love to see what Paul stamets has to say about this one lol
Wow, those ain't fun- guys to be with. I live near woodland in the UK, most of the mushrooms I recognise. I had to look how many dangerous mushrooms in the UK, it's 50 ..yikes! We've also got the.. MAGIC MUSHROOM! 🤯
I'm so glad I don't eat fungus. I'm prone to yeast infections of the skin & digestive tract so I never eat fungus. I don't even like the texture or taste of mushrooms anyway, thank goodness.
Quite a generalization you've made, considering the taste and texture of mushrooms vary greatly. Also, mushrooms aren't yeast, and can't infect you, silly.
Silly me, I once touched a death cap mushroom, because it looked pretty. Immediately, my friend told me to wash my hands right then because it's one of the most poisonous mushrooms in Europe. I learnt my lesson, never gonna touch any mushroom.
@@shreyagarg1973 thank you for your reply. did you suffer any ill effects from touching it? often what is described as poisonous is actually just purging. if you suffered no ill effects from touching it, then it is good to know.
