Destroying Angels: Field Identification

[@tattabridge]

Superb explainer, labelling and clear info. Info starts @ 2mins 30. Grateful thanks. Forewarned is forearmed.

[@monkeyfist.348]

Great video Cliff, an article I had seen last year talked about the increased interest in foraging these days. They emphasized the point that with many new foragers, we will see accidental poisoning rates rise. By first learning what can hurt you, folks can greatly reduce these incidents

[@UNDERST0RY]

We are definitely going to see rises in poisonings, also due to increasing reliance on identification apps which are far from reliable.

[@monkeyfist.348]

@@UNDERST0RY, oh ya...then there is that. Could we call that a risk multiplier?🤔

[@HoosierJedi]

I've become oddly fascinated by destroying angel recently. Thanks for such clear information.

[@larrya7822]

Very detailed. Thank you. A lot of videos talk a lot, but don't give as much detail.

[@felixyusupov7299]

We have them in southwestern PA. I found several during my morning walk in the woods.

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

How did you come up with your narration??? There's something ethereal about it.

[@chowlissy]

Wonderful video, thanks. What a fascinating killer this organism is!

[@SHurley01]

really fantastic video.

[@Tamia4280]

Thanks for the very thorough explanation!

[@richardlilley6274]

Thank you for sharing

[@skepticalgenious]

Thanks man. I was %90 sure I found a amanita vaginata. The veil with white gills. Barely slight pink on the bottom of the gills. Paper thin. The vulva is almost identical. Also the pileas/them has the shaggy stuff. 😂 while commenting i found another amanita. It's yellow.

[@RemoBongo530]

Found a couple this morning growing along side some Guessowii.

[@smoochysmoochy7267]

DUDE! JUST found you...I LIKE

[@cloudycello2072]

I live in northwest Florida found a bunch of these between some oak trees

[@jimmyrustler8983]

I found a really big one yesterday growing near a stream, with some younger ones nearby.

[@tsaservices5843]

The gills will never turn black correct?

[@ChrissyEis]

It’s a beautiful mushroom I found one not long ago

[@maryfreebed9886]

Did those insects stuck to the cap die of it?

[@magician100]

Such a amazing narrator, he should be hired by giants like Bbc ,Nat geo to narrate their documenteries

[@UNDERST0RY]

Thank you.

[@sukumac9013]

Hello. Which part of the Acadian forest are you in - the east cost of USA or east coast of Canada. I was wondering if we have this mushroom in Nova Scotia.

[@UNDERST0RY]

I am in Canada but you will find these and similarly toxic Amanitas throughout much of the region and beyond.

[@sukumac9013]

@@UNDERST0RY . Thank you - I’m in Nova Scotia. Very much enjoying the series .

[@drunkeroc]

Amanita Virosa is one of the deadly ones in your area.

[@Beano36]

Yes we have these in Nova Scotia either this one or A.virosa I think both

[@spencerburrows3525]

Where do these grow? USA Euro Asia??

[@UNDERST0RY]

A number of Amanita species go by the common name "destroying angel". They are found throughout Europe and North America. Similarly deadly Amanitas are doubtless in Asia, though they might not share the same common name.

[@Dakota.2018]

One peice will not kill you. It takes a 50 gram mushroom or 21mg of extract.

[@baldieman64]

I will pick and consume half a dozen species that I can positively identify, the rest are a no-no, and anything with white gills stays in the field.

[@fattymcbastard6536]

Don't miss the opportunity to try pine mushrooms though (Tricholoma magnivelare)! Once you've had one in your hand, and smelled it, you'll never mistake it.

[@dungeonmaster6292]

this is strangely erotic

[@ChrissyEis]

Death cap are bad also

[@tarickfn7335]

First also hello

[@TheOfficialElise]

[@testdriver3146]

I could have learned about it, if it hadn't been for all the talking about other shite.

[@kennyrupert1402]

"One piece will kill you"..... Come on man, no need to lie for shock value. Pretty unlikely that that small of an amount would kill someone and they would have to eat it in the first place.

[@blackthornsloe8049]

Eat one and let us know how it goes lol

[@johnbonner5284]

I ate about a 6'th of a button of 1 that hadn't opened up from that flask under the gills, today is my 3rd day Monday morning from 7:30 Friday morning, been taking activated charcoal, since Saturday morning. Took 2 capsules as soon as I bought it, and been taking a capsule every 12 hours since! I test gravely mowers here in Florida, I'm doing OK! Was my first time ever to give a damn bout wanting to munch on mushrooms from the wild, and so far, I hope it's not my last! Did go through diarea Saturday morning, but since the activated charcoal use, I haven't experienced any other symptoms!

[@nickparker5200]

​@@johnbonner5284did u die homie

[@mrc4912]

It takes less than a quarter teaspoon to make a painful death come around in 3-4 days. Look it up.

You speak from knowledge or you just don’t believe things you can’t understand in general?
