They aren't, but they were growing on a rotten Gum stump beside my stormpit. The tallest might be 3.5".
Not that I'll be experimenting or anything, but I later saw the below Joe Rogan video (article is in the link) about multiple people ingesting a specific species of mushrooms and then seeing similar "little people". Click the link for more. Althouse
Not saying eat them, but the ones that grow out of wood tend to be the safest. Nice crop one way or the other.
ReplyDeleteThose might not be from another world, but they will put you in another one if you eat them.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried shrooms. I'd be afraid I'd poison myself!
DeleteWise decision

My offspring called me "Dad, we went for walk in the woods and picked mushrooms. We're gonna have 'em for supper!" OMFG... They all survived. Turns out she had been taught by someone not yet poisoned. Chicken of the Woods apparently got the name due to texture and flavor.
DeleteMy late roomie cooked up what he claimed were morels. I had some after he finished his. He died later from something else. I think store-bought is just fine.

When I got my property in Loxley 40yrs ago there were thousands of Psilocybin mushroom everywhere, dried them & sent them to a friend in Charleston, we made lots of money.
ReplyDeleteDon't eat any wild mushroom without absolute positive identification...
ReplyDeleteThe best guide book to start learning about the different families of mushrooms is "All The Rain Promises, and More" , by David Arora. There's a quick key flow chart inside the front & back cover. Start there.
I believe the "little people mushroom" is from the Bolete family.
It doesn't have gills under the cap. It has a smooth surface with tiny pores. It might stain blueish when cut or bruised.

All mushrooms are edible. Some, only once.
ReplyDeletePsilocybin usually, when broken open, show a blueish/gray after a second or two after exposed to air, they can be found around old cow patties or cow manure piles left to decompose. They are a smaller simple pimple like cap with a slender stem, brownish to tan tops. Make a great tea.
ReplyDeleteCowsh!t is the safest.
ReplyDeleteGentle there Irish. All mushrooms are eatable but some can only be eaten once.
ReplyDeleteMy experience with magic mushrooms is this...when living in way south Texas, during a rain storm, we could go out to the cattle pastures, and pick the magic 'shrooms out of the cow pie...they were magic indeed.. they are very hard to eat as they taste really, really bad. I recall having to wash them down with various drinks...orange juice (not a good idea), milk (yuk!) and Schlitz...being 16 a the time, Schlitz was really not an option, so we gagged them down...2 is all it took for an 8-10 hour high. I asked a cowboy friend of mine several years later, why they only grew in cowsh!t, and he said it had to be corn fed cattle, as the spores live on the corn, and pass through the cow's digestive system.
ReplyDeleteSmoke em if ya gottem
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any little people, but I did fight a group of monsters who came down out of the trees.
