AI is not LLM by the way.
I’m sure that there could be a classifier ML model that classifies this more reliably than any human, when trained by the best institutes.
There are also cancer classifiers based on images of skin that are more reliable than any human.
But yeah, I wouldn’t ask an LLM…

There’s a whole process for it. First, you smell it. Then rub it on skin. Then taste a tiny piece. Then swallow a tiny piece. Then you eat it.
Ofc, since many mushrooms take hours or days to kill you, this process does fuck-all.
You are absolutely right! I’m sorry I misidentified the deadly mushroom before. The horrible taste and tingling sensation you described matches with the description of a poisonous mushroom 💀 instead of the delicious, edible one 🍄. What you just ate was deadly-basilocarpus also known as the death mushroom. Thankfully you can survive if you receive medical assistance in the next 30 seconds, would you like me to find the nearest hospital in BumFuck Nowhere? 🚑
Yes please. Also what’s the emergency phone number that I should dial?
I grew up foraging mushrooms in Michigan, but ever since moving to Alberta I’ve never felt comfortable hunting mushrooms here. I need to go with someone confident who has done it their entire lives. But I did learn recently that a different species of morel actually grows out here. I’m going to try hunting those this year.
Delectable tea, or deadly poison?
A tea so delicious, it’s heartbreaking!
AI has previously recommended people eat death caps.
AI app: Great picture! That a “fls Brown cup”; it is delicious and fatal!
All mushrooms are edible.
Once at least.Everything is edible once.
Right, but the 20 billion calories in yellow cake uranium goes straight to my thighs.
At least you won’t have to eat for the rest of your life.
You haven’t checked the gills or the spores
This is why the spore prints matter.
I never heard of any mushroom like the one pictured in the meme, looking so similar and even growing on the same soil/medium. It’s actually more like this:
I’ve occasionally seen some false chanterelles (Hygrophoropsis sp.) do a pretty good chanterelle impression but they’re not toxic, just bland and not well-tolerated.
Penny bun (yummy):
Bitter bolete (extremely bitter+bad time on the toilet):
St. George’s mushroom (yummy):
deadly fibrecap:
Sometimes they look clearly different but not always
These are more identical than the meme!! lmfaooo
The fiber cap stains red as it can be seen in the picture you posted, the St George doesn’t.
What I meant was that I don’t know any edible mushroom that looks exactly the same as a toxic one and doesn’t have a major characteristic that differentiates it immediately like the smell in the xanthodermus or the staining in the amanita ponderosa.
The bottom one is not toxic, just tastes bad.
I’ve heard some people use them as cocktail bitters.
I know the false one is toxic and fatal… But is it also delicious? We need to know.
The poisonous death caps and destroying Angels taste good like an edible mushroom yes. Then they liquefy your liver over 2 days.
Generally speaking poisonous things taste bad but not always! Add it to the data
This is very much not the case with mushrooms, most people who’ve accidentally eaten a deathcap (Amanita phalloides) have reported that they’re delicious. Flu agaric (Amanita muscaria) which can be detoxified by boiling it and changing the water multiple times, is pretty darn good. I think it’s better than the average grisette (the non-toxic Amanita sect. vaginatae spp.).
Ok the other other hand, the destroying angel (Amanita ocreata) is said to taste pretty bad.
For a non-amanita example, I’ve spit-tested the toxic Agaricus deardorffensis and I thought it tasted pretty good. That one is an odd case though since some people are unaffected by its poison and it’s possible that’s correlated with not being able to detect the unpleasant sharpie-like odor it’s said to have, but I wasn’t willing to give myself the shits for science so it remains a mystery.
To say boiling Amanita muscaria detoxifies it is like saying boiling and dumping the water from psilocybin mushrooms detoxifies it. It’s a drug, you can call it a toxin, but it’s a drug.
Boiling and changing the water removes the psychoactive compounds as well as the ones that keep you on the toilet all day if you’ve done it correctly (both are water-soluble). At that point it’s just a culinary mushroom.
People who are “detoxifying” it to use as a drug bake it at a low temperature which does a poor job of removing any of the toxic or psychoactive compounds so they get a bad high and end up on the toilet half a day (seriously, just order some cube spores or something if IDing good actives is too hard).
It’s how we know! Just put it in your mouth and let us know.
There’s a reason we used to make 17 kids each.
Come on, at least tell us how many differences we’re supposed to be spotting.
I will trust AI 100% the minute any of the AI tech bros eat a mystery mushroom based purely on the output of AI content.
I guess you’re forgetting the time Elon Musk smashed his cybertruck window while demonstrating how indestructible it is?
Or the time that guy who was told his submarine design was stupid because fibreglass is strong under tension but still took it down to the bottom of the Atlantic multiple times until it crushed him along with some idiots that must have thought it was fine because it had been down and back before?
Didn’t some politicians drink Flint water to try to “prove” it was safe?
A chemist who drank a gasoline additive to prove it was safe knowing it wasn’t
Not good enough for me knowing there are Thomas Midgley Juniors out there:
On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems. […] Midgley later took a leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.
He was the jackass who invented both leaded gasoline and CFCs and inflicted them on the world.
Yes, but a mystery mushroom would likely have much quicker-acting effects and it would be glorious to watch a bunch of these goobers keep over or absolutely trip balls on live television.
Isn’t the amanita mushroom one of the most deadly, and its unique symptom is that you (seem to) recover after a day or two?
…
THEN the second unique symptom hits and you get to open up the abdominal cavity and pour out the remains of the liver.
There are hundreds if not thousands of amanita’s, they do host some of the most deadly species including the death cap and destroying Angels which is what you are referring to, and yes you will get sick well after the fact, feel a little bit better and then crash hard as your liver is liquefied. I think it takes about 2 days for an excruciating death things can be done to save you, including milk thistle extract and other plants which protect the liver, most important would be purging the mushroom if caught in time, and or eating charcoal to soak up the toxins so they’re not absorbed, but hospitals have some other stuff they can do.
I think that particular symptom is a trait of the infamous “destroying angel” specifically.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroying_angel
Absolute nightmare fuel. 💀
Not only that mushroom, the death cap as the name suggests has similar effects (same toxin), but is actually the most deadly mushroom. But yeah Amanita are the most deadly/toxic species of mushrooms.
Not all of them, Amanita muscaria Has Perhaps the longest recorded usage of any drug plants or fungi in the history of the northern world. Ask the reindeer they’ll tell you about it.
It is an anticholinergenic. But it has two actions, When Wet Ibotenic acid has an inebriating effect, when dry and cooked it converts to muscimol, which produces hallucinations and an altered state, but is not a hallucinogen but said anticholinergenic, a different class of drug.
A single discredited study accused ibotenic acid of causing brain lesions and the media has repeated it ad nauseam but it’s not accurate, I have done it both wet and dry.
Yeah true, I actually also have thought about trying muscaria, but I’m fearing a little bit the anticholinergics group of drugs… (among others because of potential to increase risk for dementia etc.)
Yes, and if you read the first and second sentences of the wikipedia you’ve linked, you might notice something that I had said in my comment.
Here, I’ll help you out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita
Yo, homie, 👋
I wasn’t trying to “um akshully” you, I was legit just trying to contribute to the conversation for others who were interested.
Thanks for the link and sincerely wishing you the chillest day, though. <3
