This is a pretty free-form subreddit, but there are a few rules. We have a ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY FOR ANY AND ALL SPAM. Reddiquette is always applicable to anything you do on reddit, but in this subreddit:

No sales of anything. Not art, drugs, food, clothing, pins, or anything else. Feel free to post photos of your art. If people want to message you to buy something, that's great, but do NOT solicit sales here for anything, ever. No links to shops. Any sales, trades, barters, professional arrangements, etc. involving money, assets or goods are prohibited in post content or in the comments. No one knows what you do via PM. Keep the business ENTIRELY in the PMs. Do not ask for products or links to shops, and don't express your desire for someone's art in a way that implies intent to buy. Do not say things like "I would totally buy that!" or "Do you have an Etsy?" or "You should set up an Etsy!" or "PM me for info" or "Can I PM you about this?"... just PM them and keep it out of the comments.

  1. Adhere to the Reddit Content Policy and Reddiquette.

  2. No sales of ANYTHING. No spam.

  3. No posts of large drug operations. It limits our audience and there are far too many complaints about it. This isn't a place to advertise your grow business and it's not a place to brag about how much weight of cubes you can grow. There are plenty of subs for that type of thing.

  4. Don't post pics of dried Psilocybe mushrooms. If your post title resembles this: "Are these 'good'?" or "Just got these from a friend, how much should I take?" or "Can anyone tell me what 'strain' these are?" - then it doesn't belong here.

  5. This should go without saying, but no sourcing. Do not ask for drugs, locations of drugs, tips for finding, hunting, or scoring drugs in any specific place (hunting advice is generally accepted - habitat, seasonality, substrate, and range are all acceptable, and ID posts are always encouraged no matter the species, as long as they're not dried bagged "product"). Do not ask for any kind of hook-ups, plugs, websites, or any other means of procuring drugs.

  6. Do not joke about eating mushrooms. No "Boof it!" or "Eat the whole bag" or "I dare you to eat that!" type comments. If your comment might endanger someone by misleading them or encouraging dangerous behavior, it will be removed and you may be banned.

  7. Don't repeatedly post the same content, or similar content presented in a different way, including and especially art.

To all the lurkers, use the report button and use the downvote/upvote buttons to curate the sub yourselves as much as possible.

Be nice to each other in here.

Pores on underside growing under a red oak. Every year around now they show up. This year there has to be 10-20lbs of them! I really want to harvest and cook them up, but obviously want to make absolute sure they are edible.

Edit: hen of the woods

I regularly feed crows and I guess they mistook this Suillus grevillei for a stale bun. You can see three distinctive beak marks. Very delightful

Mushroom ID help: Are these reddening lepiotas, and what’s the guidance on eating them?

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Any idea what these mushrooms are? I’ve included photos of them growing, the caps, stems, gills, and a cut-open specimen. I’m wondering if they could be reddening lepiotas (Leucoagaricus americanus), but I’m unsure.
My brother is interested in learning to forage and wants to eat these. I’ve recommended avoiding them because we don’t have a confirmed ID, but he’s pretty adamant about learning and feels the website should be reliable.

The Missouri Department of Conservation website⁠ lists that species as edible with caution, but I’ve read that other mycologists recommend against eating it.

What do you think these are? If they are reddening lepiotas, why is the advice on eating them mixed? I’d appreciate help understanding the risks, which identifying features to check. Any help would be appreciated!
