Does it really liquify your liver? That's hardcore.

Destroying Angel? Not a mushroom guy, just googling...

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

That's an hardcore but apt name for a mushroom.

Also not a mushroom guy, but the light green cap suggests death cap to me

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago

It's a North American Destroying Angel (Amanita bisporigera). Same genus as the death cap.

Yeah definitely the destroying angel! They're hardcore!

25 years ago I made an AI Neural Network to identify mushrooms, at the end of the project I came to the conclusion it was necessary to dissect mushrooms and ask questions regarding smell and texture to identify correctly, and even then the possibility of error made the program unethical to produce. I’m so glad AI is being used responsibly a quarter of a century later.

If I ever say I'm going to forage for mushrooms, it's a cry for help

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Well yeah, you'll want help carrying the basket when you've foraged so many

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mushroom hunting is really fun and rewarding.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It isn't worth me being a dumbfuck misidentifying a mushroom and dying painfully.

I'll keep buying them.

Just look for mushrooms that are easy to id. That's what I do. I only go for morels or chicken of the woods.
