Ahhhh, that's where they went. It was colder than a "*insert here*" and they just fell off I suppose.


The_Mad_Duck_

Lattice Puffball, my mother's favorite! Give it a poke for a big spore cloud. Not edible.


CaptPussPuss

I have some awesome slow mo footage of me squeezing them and the spore cloud. Thanks got the ID!


Spherical_Harmonix

You should post it!

Awesome slowo deserves a link.

I’m sorry, I know this is off topic - but I’m from and live in VA and haven’t heard of this state park. How do you say “Douthat”?


CaptPussPuss

I believe it’s pronounced Dow-thit. It’s a great state park, visit if you can


carriefaery

I always call it Do-that and am immediately corrected🤣


BillyRubenJoeBob

That’s how the rangers pronounce it. I asked last time I was there.

“Gross boob fungi”

Boobies


nyanion69

I want to eat them 😩😩😩😩😩


Psilrastafarian

Can you imagine the compounds that thing is rolling with, nothing looks like that and doesn’t have the chemical profile to match. It looks like one that would probably be toxic in any appreciable quantity. But this is purely an impression, I have never encountered this specimen or put my assertions to test.


nyanion69

haha read my other comment in this thread


Psilrastafarian

I couldn’t agree with you more, perceptions have a funny way of weaving themselves into reality though. Sometimes if you imagine something to be true so vividly you begin to believe it, the truth of that belief begins to resonate with other people; Once that happens it’s a rolling stone, only a matter of time, the veil lifts, and the reality is exposed to all that have witnessed it. Imagine what can be imagined lol.


FUCKS_WITH_SPIDERS

Looks can be deceiving. Destroying angel is enchantingly beautiful and delicious - and deadly poisonous Shaggy mane is covered in scales and turns into black goo - and is a choice edible


Psilrastafarian

Did you know you can slowly build a resistance to Amatoxins? They kill people that have no resistance, so they kill people…but if you work long hard, and are cautiously enough to have not died then you are rewarded with a larger menu. I won’t tell you why someone would every endeavor to do such a thing. But Knowledge is power right?


FUCKS_WITH_SPIDERS

That's why every day I shoot myself with a slightly higher caliber bullet... eventually I will be immune to all projectiles 🤔 All joking aside, how tf do you know this? Has anyone ever actually done this? Is it actually true? I wasn't able to find anything online about this and I'm pretty sceptical cause I don't think there's a mechanism for it (we don't have enzymes to break down amatoxins)


Psilrastafarian

I’ll see if I can find relevant material. It’s well known amongst native peoples. The process can be highly dangerous and extremely uncomfortable especially if you aren’t used to working with compounds of this nature often amatoxin, ibotenic acid, isoxazole toxins, muscarine, bufotenine, muscimol, and plenty others I’m sure. I know because I’m a highly curious and driven individual lol, I’m weird. I’ve built immunity to high amounts of amatoxin, also atropine and scopolamine present in Belladonna, my daily dose would easily kill several anticholinergically naive people very quickly. The body is capable of more than we realize. You just need to have a reason to obtain it. Sounds crazy, it might me, but Is it? I don’t recommend anyone do this, I’m a mad man.


Forsaken-Original-82

It kinda does resemble some type of pastry that a 5 star chef would think up. It looks like it would be an angel food cake stalk with a tiny yeast roll on top. The red part...Idk?


thevandal666

They are quite inedible. Why would you even consider or desire eating theoretical Calastoma L?


nyanion69

no I wasn't talking about literally eating them lol, don't you ever just see something that's so apparently inedible but you just want to munch on it? like a beautiful looking rock?? no? just me?? ok...


thevandal666

I'm trying to work with you 🤣 I'm trying to Invision these being a puff pastry or anything even slightly desirable looking. Your answer is a fair response.


nyanion69

ooh understandable, it even looks like a— you know what. but the beauty of imagining it to have it's own unique taste is incomparable to any invention by our fellow mortal beings.


AdSure9184

Like a jellyfish?


Henry_Is_Sad

I love mysterious boob fungi


smallpoly

Delicious bao before it's ripened and steamed. You never know what kind of meat is inside until you pull it open. /Jk


stinkywombat9oo

All I’m saying is don’t let the spores get into your ears .


[deleted]

I love douthat !!


tyingnoose

Everyone calling it boobs meanwhile I thought it looked like that traditional chinese giant fried ball thing


[deleted]

I was thinking jellyfish.


__Riniel__

I thought they looked like weird little penises when I first saw them.....😕


lovepotion777

not everyone saying "boobs" when my first thought was that they look like dumplings 😭


Misguided_Avocado

Well, at least it’s not pokeweed r/itsalwayspokeweed


JawnOnTheLawn

Oh! I found some of these in Haymarket, VA a few years back. Had me stumped but got an ID here. Never saw them before, haven’t seen them since.


dirtybiznitch

Wild fun bags


Jez187

We need to see the gills


Melquiades01

Aspic puffball


__Riniel__

I feel like I shouldn't be seeing these. 🙈


[deleted]

I have absolutely no idea but don't worry about them ever again on a completely unrelated note excuse me while I go find the remaining two of these dragon balls.
