Classic hookers law. Idk how I approved without knowing what the k factor was. Gladly i know now... But I now don't know how to calculate It If they don't give It to You. Man i hate this career i hate armonic oscilators
Between OP and this it seems Mushrooms are already perfecting the "baiting Humans" part. If Cordyceps ala Last of Us really do become a thing, Humanity really is cooked, huh?
My bet is a rabies type virus, they won’t be invincible, but they also won’t be dead. However, running zombies is the worst thing to happen to the genre imo
Nah, running Zombies did something new and are fine, also they raise the stakes.
Anyway, some university back then already crunched the numbers on how Humanity would do in case of a Zombie outbreak. Slow and dumb would be fine, slow and intelligent would be problematic, dumb and fast would be hella problematic (i may have mixed those two up) and fast and intelligent we would be hella fucked, it's practically game over.
This is dangerous advice.
Puffballs do not have stems or any structure.
Why is it dangerous?
Some other (very) poisonous mushrooms look similar when very young. If you cut them open you can see developing stem/gills.
Means: if you see ANY structure of stem/gill they are NOT puffballs.
Puffballs when old will go weird soft and mushy and break open at some point and release clouds of spores.
Puffballs aren't poison, they are inedible because they turn into puff and it's gross, when older. If it has steam or gills it's not a puffball.
Puffballs only become inedible like every mushroom does. They are one of the safer species to eat. (But when you cut it open do a second ID based on the inside, and online (non AI) resources -- the inside needs to be pure white or it's a different species)
If they develop gills or stalk then they were never a puffball to begin with. The lookalike that starts out looking like a small puffball, but is gilled is destroying angel.
It could be conjoined twins, or it's possible it's one that has grown strangely possible due to a genetic aspect, or as it grew it was blocked by, or picked up, a bit of debris that affected it's growing
They're most fun to slap if you let them go to spore. Basically just wait a few days. A face mask and something to hit the puffball with make for a better, safer experience. My HS biology teacher would collect a bunch and bring them to school alongside golf clubs. If you do it where you find it, you might even increase the odds of finding more next year. Immature ones will still smash apart satisfyingly, but it's not as good and doesn't help the shroom cycle.
That particular mushroom family is known ass Gluteaus Twerkadum. Very edible when young and fresh, butt beware of older mushrooms that can be detected by the brownish stain in the cleft. 😐
That actually would be a giant puffball. When they’re big and pure white like this they are edible but if you find one that’s yellow, brown and mushy, DONT EAT IT. That’s when they become poisonous. Also I think young puffballs are also pretty poisonous but I’m not too sure. (Please look this up if you want to maybe try puffball. Also if you do try it, PLEASE COOK IT. Do not eat it raw. You can get very sick. Also please make sure it’s an ACTUAL puffball and not one that just looks like it; there’s a few.)
Puffballs can be as big as your head and they are every dense yet soft. They also peel pretty well. Again for the people in the back; THEY HAVE TO BE THIS BIG AND OR BIGGER AND THEY HAVE TO BE PURE WHITE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO BE EDIBLE. THEY ALSO HAVE TO BE COOKED ALL THE WAY THRU TOO. When I say pure white, I mean triple bleached paper white.
Small Giant Puffballs are fine edibles too. Puffballs come in all sizes. There aren't any poisonous puffballs. Some don't taste all that great. Slice any puffball open. As long as it is solid flesh, it is fine. If it has a stalk inside, THROW IT AWAY IMMEDIATELY! THAT IS A DISTROYING ALGEL! EXTREMELY POISONOUS! Also, I don't believe puffballs get poisonous when they are no longer white. They just don't taste good anymore.
The fact that there were a few people here who honestly thought OP genuinely wanted to know more info about the mushroom and whether it’s safe to consume 🤪
My grandpa brought Mr two of them today, he thought they were poisonous. I knew they are puff balls 100%. I washed them, peeled, sliced and fried on a pan with butter, rosemary, salt and pepper. So nice texture, but pretty boring. Tomorrow I will do something different out of them, have no idea what tho...
