False Morels, #shorts, #mushroom, #mushroomhunting, #foraging

Know your lorchels (false morels). While several of the species listed are known as choice edibles with proper ID & thorough cooking and small tested areas have shown them to have low or no gyromitrin they can be misidentified, undercooked or possibly contain other unknown carcinogenic or neurodegenerative compounds (that group of folks in Europe that all got ALS after eating some comes to mind). **For this reason I do NOT recommend you eat any of them.** If it has been your family tradition to consume these or are an advanced fungi knowledge person…more power to you! Remember, the gyromitrin toxin is released as a gas during cooking and can poison you through inhalation as well as ingestion! https://youtube.com/shorts/uOkUtniB9dE?si=mM\_LB5qByytY3LkB
