WILL IT KILL ME? #1 Shaggy Ink Cap Mushroom
Today on @Grow It! I’m lurking in the grass with the Shaggy Ink Cap mushroom, but the question is, WILL IT KILL ME?
Mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes and foraging for mushrooms can be a rewarding and tasty hobby, but it’s extremely important that you never eat any mushroom that you haven’t had identified by a mushroom expert as A LOT OF MUSHROOMS WILL DEFINITELY KILL YOU. Deadly mushrooms can often look EXTREMELY similar to safe ones.
As the saying goes, “all mushrooms are edible, but some only once”.
You can find these mushrooms all over the place in autumn, as they’re autumn mushrooms (or fall mushrooms) all over Europe, North America and Southern Australia. In this episode I answer the question are Shaggy Ink Cap mushrooms poisonous, are Shaggy Mane Mushrooms Poisonous, are lawyers wig mushrooms poisonous?

Shaggy ink caps don't contain coprine, common ink caps do. These are safe to eat if you forage them like any fungi which is from a clean non polluted site.
Omg Barry so glad to see you back I was thinking about the other day. Have a great week hopefully your safe 🐝 safe
