i like the idea of those mushrooms you musn't mix with alcohol otherwise you will get the mother of all hangovers. ink cap, i think is one. |
that sounds like a potentially good bar-trick. if you're like, that insensetive.
the parasol mushroom was the first mushroom i tried. i think the worst alternative version was the green one. i ate a little bit, felt no effects. next year i found some more and made a dinner of it. and i'm still alive.
you're supposed to try a little bit at a time like that if it's a first time. i thought the parasol tasted like a richer tasting portobello

one person encouraged me to blow on them and watch the spores being released with a hissing sound, which quite frankly freaks me out. |
oh, maybe i'm not on crack afterall!
i wonder if the mushroom was attacked by another fungus. i ate some lobster mushrooms yesterday that i found at the store. the lobster mushroom is actually a parasitic fungus which attacks a couple types of mushrooms, turns their surface orange, and improves the flavour.
the hissing spore thing sounds a little creepy.
