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

Wonderful shot, Mike. Looks like Amanita muscaria, to me. Promise you won't eat them :)

Very nice shot of these shrooms.

I don't know squat about mushrooms so I steer my kids and myself clear of them. Even back when I homeschooled my two oldest boys. Trees were our big thing in the wild to explore and learn about. Now I did teach them some varieties of mushroom are deadly but that's about as far as we got. Beautiful shot though I agree!

Wow! And I've never seen one of these growing around here...I'd have shot them before I harvested, though ;) Wonderful load of bellyaches there!

Yes....those are "not" poppy seed like one sees on a hamburger bun...One could see a child thinking this and picking them off thinking they were...Over the years I have taught my kids and now my grand kids the difference between the ones you can and cannot eat...Nice of you Mike to do what your doing so others don't have the opportunity to find out the hard way... (smiles)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I LOVE MUSHROOMS!!! Tasty! : ) Cool shot Mike. Looks just like the mushrooms we have here in NH. If you know they are poisonous, you must know what kind they are?

I saw the one of the middle dancing in Disney`s "Fantasy", he looked innocent and sweet kid. I never dreamed that he would become a murderer, when he grew:) Seriously, good that you remove them. Take care and wear a mask, too.

Mushrooms grow fast = REAL FAST, so I hope you sprayed some killer.... when I cleaned the grounds at my old job, I was amazed in one day a mushroom the size of a softball would grow - ONE DAY - WOW.... Oh, you better make sure these aren't the "drug" mushrooms, you would not want to get busted harvesting them and I don't think they'd listen to you try and explain - ya know what I mean? stay safe.

Yeah, those look like some nasty customers, Mike! I like a good bit of mushroom in a salad, but I'm not familiar enough with them to harvest them myself in the wild. I've heard absolute horror stories about mushroom poisoning.. A great and colorful photo of this box of shrooms, though!
bakapo
yeah, death in a box right there... good work cleaning them up.

I have never seen those kinds before. The one looks like a 3d model I have though, lol. I wouldn't know what is or isn't bad for you. But I dont' eat them either or anything else.

A splendid mix of those Amanita muscaria, Mike! Her it's forbidden to pick mushrooms. I love your selection very much!
