Description
During the fall I have to don the latex gloves and go out to harvest the deadly crop of mushrooms that grow along the fence of InterFaith Treasure House. the main reason is to get them away from those who do not know what they are and what the can do, and also from those who do know what they are and what they can do.
this haul was about 20 pounds of death and agony.
I can think of more pleasant ways of dying, like a slow wood chipper, a pond full of sharks, or a vat of mild sulfuric acid....
I know it is grusome to discuss, but... it does make for some interesting pictures as well
Thanks for all the wonderful comments and faves

Well set-up shot. These look like everyday mushrooms, from your description, I take it they are poison?

I do not mesh with any of them, especially having no inkling to which are safe. I can take or leave mushrooms. good you take the time to dispose of them

Not sure these are fly agaric mushrooms. They look more like the psylicibin ones with the lighter coloration of the caps. Still...not good to mess if you're not sure because you're right, fly agaric is not a pleasant way to go. They're a healthy looking lot though. Nice box of colors Mike - wheee, colors! Don't mind me :-9 Great cap-ture.

That is some collection Mike, they really are something. That's a nice thing you're doing in removing them and keeping people out of harms way

They are pretty little things though. I guess if they are pretty they are bad for you...LOL (I guess that goes for the opposite sex too). My wife knows what is good. She recently went to the neighbors and got about 20 lb's of mushrooms. she dried most of them. She gets all excited when she finds some really funny looking ones, as I guess they are very expensive. Personally I do no like them that much. I like the pain old everyday ones...smile. I showed my wife your picture and she said some of those are not poisonous. She is sending me a site link which I will forward to you. She told me what they are but I forget. Here is the link. I tried to do it for you but there were a couple of questions I was not 100% sure of, but you can do it and it will tell you what they are. http://www.mycokey.com/newMycoKeySite/MycoKeyIdentQuick.html

That will make one powerful witches brew. An ugly job but someone had to do it!

Quite the gruesome looking haul and a most startling decription of the type of death these fungi would bring! Amazing to think they grow out where any unsuspecting individual might come along and ingest them and die! Great photo!
cricke49
yea if they aren't morels then they can just die a horrible death, lol! excellent capture mike!:)*5
renecyberdoc
are you sure that latex gloves are appropriate to work on this,how about rubber working gloves?'more robust??lol. i do hope that no kids walk around and taste a byte like kids do. reminds me when ute and me went for mushrooms in the wood. one day we found a devils whaever his name is mushroom.i took it out and posed it on the ground. when we came back half an hour later the fungi was disintegrating and fuming,really smoke coming out of it. now you must imagine the force of the poison in this bugger to eat itself up. remember there are poisenous people like this around as well.

Good Job Mike, feel free to come clean them up in my pine plantation anytime you like but you will need a good sized truck :)

These look huge. Crimini and brown mushrooms only for me. I don't even mess with Portobello. Definitely wear a mask to protect yourself from any stray spores. Wonderful thing you're doing for people and any animal that may pass by. Now I feel like fixing a mushroom omelet.

The nature can be soo nice and .....toxic!!

Not mush room in that box Mike, (someone had to say it) you're a good man saving the idiots lives. Great shot!
UteBigSmile
Yeah' that's right Mike, you can just eat them once!!!
Roywig
LOL Bazza!! They look so tempting too, odd that they can kill you.

Must be bad stuff when you start comparing the agony to a 'slow wood chipper' and such, LOL!
