Hey Bob!

You never know when you might need to know what is edible & what is not - I put this article together to share - so back off!

MR BOB is simply informing you that it's ats policy to make a small writeup of the article and posting your opinion about it in the same post. simply putting a link and saying "five freaky fungi" does not a good post make.

as for the link, interesting. the world is full of strange and wonderful things.

Thanks optimus - I should have put a write up

You never know - evolution of our cerebral cortex may be a consequence of eating psychadelic mushrooms in our dim and distant past.
There is a theory of evolution based upon "the stoned ape"

My favourite is the puffball, yum...

..but not the stinkhorn...

but I do like the luminescent ones...

First, I have to tell you that I really like a thread title which contains an alliteration -- you might've added "Found Friday

I think it's important to add this quote from you link:

REMEMBER - Never eat a mushroom or fungus if you are unsure of its variety….Recite this old adage

There are old mycologists

There are Bold Mycologists

But there are no old bold mycologists

I don't know about that puffball. It looks difficult to discern between that and nonedible ones. Apparently (according to the link) only the puffball and the Coral Tooth are edible. naaaah. I will avoid ALL wild fungi that I don't know for absolute certain are safe to eat. Thanks for sharing them!

I find these articles so cool.
Nature is amazing. I started a thread yesterday about fungus taking over ants, to further their existence. Also related to "zombie-ism" hahaha.
But very interesting. S&F. They look like candy.
