Does it really liquify your liver? That's hardcore.
If I ever say I'm going to forage for mushrooms, it's a cry for help
- Well yeah, you'll want help carrying the basket when you've foraged so many
- Mushroom hunting is really fun and rewarding.
  
  It isn't worth me being a dumbfuck misidentifying a mushroom and dying painfully.
  
  I'll keep buying them.
25 years ago I made an AI Neural Network to identify mushrooms, at the end of the project I came to the conclusion it was necessary to dissect mushrooms and ask questions regarding smell and texture to identify correctly, and even then the possibility of error made the program unethical to produce. I’m so glad AI is being used responsibly a quarter of a century later.
Destroying Angel? Not a mushroom guy, just googling...
- That's an hardcore but apt name for a mushroom.
- Also not a mushroom guy, but the light green cap suggests death cap to me
  
  It's a North American Destroying Angel (Amanita bisporigera). Same genus as the death cap.
- Yeah definitely the destroying angel! They're hardcore!
