We went mushroom hunting on the weekend, mainly to find pine mushrooms to eat, but one can never go past amanita muscaria. She begs you to take notice!! Check out the size of this one!
I have been reading lately about some people using amanita to treat anxiety. I wouldn't do it without professional guidance but goes to show that people's warnings about mushrooms can be ill informed. Pretty much a good thing though as caution is better than organ failure from eating the wrong thing!
I also read about some people boiling them up to get rid of the toxicity, then you can eat the flesh which I imagine would still be full of protein. I'm never going to do it, but wow there's a lot of interesting stuff about mushrooms when you start diving deep!
I’m too scared to forage mushrooms after @petrapurple s story
Oh no I didn't hear that one! Do tell.
I think with the amanita, it involves heating in the oven and then boiling it in milk - but don't quote me on it. lol
I'd have to be starving to want to try!!!! 😂🍄
But I'm fascinated with it's potential to help with trauma and anxiety. Just reading about the chemistry of mushrooms gives me a thrill. Incredible potential.
