Cool!

Are the mushrooms in the picture edible? 🍄 I was under the impression that they were not…

If that is an amanita muscaria, or “fly agaric,” it’s psychoactive and poisonous but rarely deadly. The toxins are water soluble, so if you parboil them sufficiently (and drain the water!), it’s presumably safe.

I have never eaten these, and you should definitely not take mycological advice from strangers on the Internet, which I’m guessing you already knew!

Good point… I’ve been looking for a good profile picture for the community for a while now. I just liked the art on this one so, didn’t actually think about it being edible hahaha, I’ll keep an eye out for a better one. Thanks for pointing it out 🌻
