Will I get sick or die?

Sure. Go ahead. Were you asking for a friend?

A number of the jelly fungi can be eaten raw; poisonous jelly fungi are rare. However, many species have an unpalatable texture or taste. They may or may not be sought in mushroom hunting due to their taste, which is described as similar to that of soil.

Two-part question. No. Maybe.

Those don’t look good, to me.

Agree with post directly above mine. Polypores might look to be okay...must be fully cooked... review these sites first:

Frankly, were it me I'd say PASS.

You can eat anything... once.

I dunno. Ask a Cajun. Those folks will eat anything! They should know.

The only wild mushrooms we'll pick and eat are Chanterelles. They are easy to identify and plentiful in old burns. I'm not an expert on mushrooms so won't eat anything else. Based on the pictures, I'd pass.

Mrs Q wants to cook it. I said, let Tyson (our beloved dog) test taste it first. j/k j/k...

Haha.

Not worth the risk!

Morels are the only fungi I can't pass on, these days. Cooked in butter, they're the bomb, and stuff.

I wouldn't try those on a bet. Too many chances to get it wrong.

About 60 years ago in our neighborhood, a doctor and his unmarried sister went mushrooming and picked some wild mushrooms near the Mississippi River. They cooked and ate them and both died. It's always made me careful about that sort of thing. I do not know what kind they were.

Dude!

If you have to ask, I’d pass on them.
Too much downside.

We have Porcini mushrooms here in Colorado,big orangy thing, looks nasty but man slice them in 1/2 slices and fry with butter,garlic and onions they are delish. Usually if wild life and insects eat them they should be ok....Famous last words

I wouldn't.

"There are old mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters".

I have no idea if you can eat them.

But will take this time too thank you for what you've done for me and Sigforum just in case.
