Identifying the False Deathcaps, Amanita citrina and Amanita citrina var alba

[@rawforaging-w9n]

seen a few of these around, found my first lurid bolete yesterday :D growing outside the local lidl haha

Accidentally ate a False Death cap in my early foraging days - the thought still makes me shiver. It actually tastes very good - like roasted chestnuts, and if there were more marked differences between it and the deadly sort - I'd eat them again. Listening to this as I clean some lovely fresh Chanterelles, Wood Hedgehogs and 3 lovely young Beefsteaks - all picked this morning.

Oof 🥴 Glad youre still here! How will you eat your beefsteaks ? Going to eat my one today! Thinking of doing some in a salad but would like to try cook some up too with baking powder to reduce the acidity

[@datwarenlekkeresnoepjes8927]

did you cook it?

[@skeetskeet4123]

@@datwarenlekkeresnoepjes8927 you should cook all edible mushrooms imo, especially agarics etc which contain agaratine/hydrazines (rocket fuel) which causes cancer.

[@datwarenlekkeresnoepjes8927]

@@skeetskeet4123 yea but uncooked amanita citrina contains bufotenin so normally the person who ate it raw should had intense hallucinations

Trhank you for sharing your knowledge with us❤

[@savoeungkep8506]

I will try it

Try what? I.D.? Did you find it? Are you still here friend.🤗

Oh Dear, it's the only comment they ever made here.🙏🏻

Pale white amanitas give me the shivers 😂😂 Going to stick to blushers and maybe one day some grey spotted amanitas when it comes to the skirted amanitas. Respect for the upload and knowledge though guys! Will try and begin to learn to distinguish the false death caps just for the fun of it

[@suzycat2026]

Thank you for this important lesson.❤ I've seen similar white mushrooms with a skirt. So maybe not destroying Angels but these lookalikes that are deadly too. The fungi Kingdom is shady , dopplegangers of all types! Your description makes them sound sexy ; they the deadly Scorpion of mushrooms. How does the egg sack even begin? The chance meeting of spores? Do they grow in same place again, or totally random.. I'm a curious cat. 😻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Deathcap Doppelgängers!

[@karstent8138]

I would not be euphemistic and call the deathcap a *potentially* deadly mushroom. It IS deadly!

[@flowercoal7382]

Potentially deadly as in it is possibly a deathcap
