What is this fungus? Should I not have consumed half the cap on my run? If so, can ill effects be countered by the massive volume of beef brisket and pale ale I just wolfed? I found it on the east slabs of Grey Rock, with 40 minutes to dark. I nibbled a bit and hurried through the downclimb. I ran back to the truck, just over two hour c2c again! As i drank the first pale, a black anvil grew on the western horizon, enveloping the Grey Rock.

I am feeling pretty good as I write this. Let me know if I should call Poison Control, or if you think it might be more of a synergistic thing.

I'm thinking you should be thinking activated charcoal and a saline flood. Is your will up-to-date?

If you have to ask, you shouldn't eat.

I am feeling pretty ill. I think that the other half-cap should help things get better. Thanks for the advice. Will advise.

Wow! Really! you just eat mushrooms in the wild on a whim; are you dumber than a dog? You are probably OK but it may be a muscaria so you may puke and hallucinate. It doesn't appear to be a death angel so your liver won't be melted in the morning. Hopefully it is a another species that are generally edible.
DONT EVER EAT A MUSHROOM YOU DON'T ABSOLUTELY KNOW IS NOT POISONOUS and generally just don't eat amanitas which a muscaria is!

The first photo may be a Russula emetica . . . this one should not be eaten as it is mildly toxic.

Dunno about getting you fit, but it should help you lose weight.

With that color, I was thinking Russula xerampelina, aka Shrimp Mushroom. Did the stalk have any pink on it? Yellowish gills? Did it even have gills? What color were the SPORES???
Had it been R. emetica, you'd have said something about the peppery taste, and mentioned the fact that you hurled up your lunch shortly after eating it.

I really hope you are not serious. Even if it was not poisonous, you set a poor example.

If it tastes bitter. Spit it out. If it taste good it is probably alright.
That's what a mushroom hunter told me once.

Yeah, sure. Amanita phalloides and ocreata both taste excellent. Go for it!
