Running List of Eaten Species

4/18/2019

0 Comments

 
I divide up the mushrooms I eat into three simple categories of edibility: bad, good, and great. I do not seek out mushrooms that taste bad to me. I will not hesitate to collect mushrooms that I think are good. And mushrooms that are great - I am on the hunt! If the mushroom is poisonous or possibly poisonous, I will simply avoid eating it again unless enough evidence accumulates to suggest that mushroom is actually safe to eat, and I recommend you do the same.

Chronological List

  1. Sarcoscypha dudleyi (scarlet cup) - possibly good
  2. Rhizopus oligosporus (tempeh) - great
  3. Urnula craterium (devil's urn) - good
  4. Gyromitra brunnea (elephant ears lorchel) - possibly poisonous
  5. Morchella americana (yellow morel) - great
  6. Morchella punctipes (half-free morel) - good
  7. Suillus amplioporus (larch bolete) - great
  8. ​Hericium coralloides (coral tooth mushroom) - great
  9. Tuber separans (gasoline truffle) - good
  10. Calvatia gigantea (giant puffball) - bad
  11. Pluteus aurantiorugosos (flame shield) - possibly poisonous
  12. Lycoperdon pyriforme (stump puffball) - good
  13. Sarcomyxa serotina (late fall oyster) - good
  14. Coprinellus truncorum (mica cap mushroom) - good
  15. Neofavolus alveolaris group (hexagonal-pored polypore) - bad
  16. Laetiporus sulphureus (chicken of the woods) - great
  17. Polyporus umbellatus (umbrella polypore) - great
