I’ve a feeling that drunk people would have a higher chance of eating these than a sober person because they become more reckless
Actually, question: What makes them poisonous when consumed with alcohol? Is there just a chemical reaction with something in the mushroom and alcohol that creates poison? If so, what is it?

Yeah, reading this under the influence and I’ve seen these in my garden while imbibing, no thanks.

Well I guess it’s a good thing they look fucking disgusting then, isn’t it?

Mushrooms are weird af! Maybe these are the real aliens, and they’ve been hiding among us in plain sight all these years.

Some things look disgusting and I still eat it, intoxicated or not.

Alcohol is poisonous, adding anything to it will remain poisonous.
willzterman on
Yeah no

I’ll just be safe and stick to alcohol.

Reminds me of a Jim Jefferies quote:
‘I’m on medication now, but they don’t work combined with alcohol, so I’m not on medication.’

They are not edible in that state in the pic

It’s not all ink caps. It’s specifically the common ink cap (Coprinopsis atramentaria) that reacts badly with alcohol because of a compound called coprine.
Drink booze anywhere from a day or two before or after eating it and you can get flushing, nausea, racing heart, etc.
Other ink caps don’t do this.

I think coprinus syndrome is better explained as the mushrooms making the alcohol more poisonous to the body by preventing the breakdown and causing the accumulation of acetaldehyde, which is toxic and comes from metabolizing alcohol.

That is the most disgusting mushroom I’ve ever seen, looks like its covered in tar–Quite unlike the pretty ones I’ve seen in Vermont
Hour_Papaya_5583 on
These are way past their prime, they don’t usually look like this.
With that said, while inky caps are one of the less appetizing mushrooms I know, and despite my love for foraging I still haven’t gone for them (fresh ones are much nicer looking than this tho)

Yeh “non-poisonous except..” is just poisonous in my book

What if we make this a standard practice for a DUI test?

I will just stick to normal food instead of technically edible weird food. Thanks.

Mmm delicious I think it would pair well with my squid ink pasta and a glass of red wine 🤤
Left is already not edible, well at least once i guess. The one on the right is edible, but I have that from heresay
ZacharyTaylorORR on
No no no – not gonna eat that. Its 2025 and i have options.

You gotta hand it to the person who first saw the mushroom that looks like it came straight from the cover of a death metal album, and was like, “yeah, imma eat it.”

Currently 4 days sober from alcoholism (yeah bad time of year to quit I know)
Maybe I should get some of these as additional insurance

Shaggy Manes. I used to find them all over this golf course I worked in northern AZ. They make really good soup.
But yeah, if you don’t pick em, they melt black.

Death stranding mushrooms right there.

Poisonous high? Or poisonous die?
Project_Rees on
That’s really interesting.
I’ve recently been on antibiotics (metronidazole) that i couldnt have alcohol with. A little search and its for the same reason, its called the disulfiram-alcohol reaction.
When you drink alcohol the ethanol is first broken down to acetaldehyde which then your body produces an enzyme to break it down further into harmless acetic acid. Acetic acid is then pee’d out.
These mushrooms and certain types of antibiotics block the liver from creating the enzyme to break down acetaldehyde, which is toxic. A little build up of it, which can be as little as a single mouthful of any alcohol, leads to symptoms such as feeling sick and vomiting, severe stomach pain and cramps, flushed skin, rapid or pounding heartbeat, headaches, dizziness or drowsiness, difficulty breathing.
Disulfiram, which the reaction is named after, is a drug used to treat chronic alcoholism. Having any alcohol with it makes you violently ill.

So they are flat out poisonous at every meal then.

-Spits- Orc blood.
Don’t shroom and drink
Yet more proof that alcohol sucks.
… I read a book where these little bastards caused the main plot. It’s called NPCs, by Drew Hayes, and you simply must read it
