This is Reddit.
Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!
And also document your pain... and ask for tax advice.
This is why you need a lawyer on retainer
Immediately SUE the mushroom!!!
I was thinking "eat it pussy" or some sort of derogatory comment pressuring OP into eating it.
To each his own...
(Seriously OP, do not eat it)
Apparently it’s perfectly safe to consume, but I still won’t do it, also at least they can’t say im gay for not trying it, because they’re too late, I already am

Taste it! Smell it!
Bop it! Twist it!
Boof it!
-Squee
thever thought the word squee would make me laugh as much as it did, so congrats have an upvote i
Smells like nothing, and I’m not eating it, even though it’s apparently safe to eat
Nope, it's definitely saying eat me, then when the room comes around for the third time, grab a hold and hang on.
I'm betting that's a Cortinarius iodes, commonly known as the spotted cort or the viscid violet cort.
This species is not recommended for consumption.
I feel like purple just says "I'm poisonous bitch".
Literally a danger sign
One of the more common edibles in my area is a nice purple color. Lepista nuda . This was the first mushroom I found and ate on my own with no help from anyone.
In general, don't try this though, always try to learn from local experienced pickers if possible, some mushrooms look very much alike in different parts of the world. about a 100 people die each year from poisoning.
Idk that blue mushroom looked kinda like "I dare you to eat me MF" but it just opened my third eye
Paraphrasing here, Douglas Adams once said that "Red Alert" is an odd choice of color, since the rest of the Universe says that Purple is the more alarming color.
Edit: I seem to have made that up, but it sounds like something he'd say.
Like a gum ball or Skittles? Pull your heads out of your asses. That thing is gonna be delicious.
Without seeing gills and a spore print, and being able to identify yourself(OP)... never eat a wild mushroom, especially ones that have toxic lookalikes like purple colored ones...
50/50 chance this is the toxic Violet Cort or else it could be a nice purple/lavender blewit. Do not eat unless you know how to differentiate between the two, but based on topside view only, its a shot in the dark between the two species.
If you find cool mushrooms of strange colors, take pics of the habitat it grows, a gill shot, and for a spore print.. place the cap on aluminum foil overnight and include that in photos..
If I’ve learned anything from delicious in dungeon, it’s that anything can be eaten if you know how to prepare it.
How many times has Laios almost died from eating random shit?
just recommended huh so you’re saying there’s a chance?
There is a chance. You might see your entire life flash before your eyes, while it passes out of your butt, but it's not considered poisonous.
However, Hank ate one, and he thought he was the Easter Bunny for a week. We're thinking his leg convusions should simmer down in a week or 2.
Looks like it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortinarius_iodes
Apparently it’s “Lepitas something” and it’s safe to eat, still not doing it tho
‘Recommended’ you say… so you can still eat it?
Edibility is "doubtful". Not really sure what that means but I'm assuming it probably won't kill you, but probably will have you blowing chunks out both ends.
But you’re saying there’s a chance
I'm pretty sure that's a Rushroom
They can demand 3 rupees for that at a local merchant
Yeah but I know this one guy who will go nuts for them in multiples of 55.
Try throwing some in a pot with some steak, it might give you lvl 1 speed boost for 3 mins.
Then after the buff wears off, -1 life
I’d say more like -50% but still, not eating it
It looks like it’d rush you to the emergency room
I don’t know how to explain it but it looks like it would be the texture of a potato
Can agree, I think it looks like half a purple potato that's gone off lol 🥔
Okinawan sweet potato
I've played enough Mario games to know not to eat this.
Wait, wasn’t this one the one that made you tiny?
It ends your existence in game if you are already tiny but yes you are correct.
Yahoo, but like the Mario scream, not the browser
man, I spend too much time on anatomy and med subs... thought this was a diseased organ
It might lead to said diseased organ(s), so you were close.
This is much nicer than the other purple mushrooms I run into on the internet.
I’m scared to go look that up
Spoiler: they're penises
Ok, now my gay a** is going to look that up
My Zelda nerd brain must be acting up that looks like a rushroom
They're similar to a degree that I wonder if the rushroom design was based on this kind of mushroom.
Why didn't you leave it there?
They needed the rupees or maybe they needed it to increase their speed for a few minutes
/Zelda references
My thought exactly, why did they take it? Now it might not spread and it was obviously never even going to be edible.
It IS edible
Whats wrong with taking it?
Idk man, I just grabbed it and replanted it
Cuz it was cool and I relocated it
Usually, bright colors are considered bad/poisonous in nature..
Apples, Bananas, Dragon Fruits...
This is on the same spectrum as a purple potato, purple onion, purple sweet potato.
Probably has Anthocyanins.
I thought you said dragonflies
That's mostly for animals, not plants/fungi. There's tons of delicious, brightly colored plants.
And fungi
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collybia_nuda, not saying it's this species, but not necessarily
It’s “Lepitas” something something
You probably mean Lepista nuda? That's actually the same species as Collybia nuda. It used to be called Clitocybe nuda, then it was renamed to Lepista nuda and recently to Collybia nuda. Not really sure this is it though, looks more like Cortinarius sp.
See how every photo in that link is of an animal? The same principle doesn’t universally apply to plants or fungi (or even all animals). For instance: strawberries.
the first thing we were told before going to the forest when I wad young, was: “Do not interact with pretty mushrooms. 99% of them will make you wish you listened to me.”
Eat it, you'll get really small!
Or die.
Wait, you’re a Mario player then
Thats the shroom of the universe
Cue Jefferson Airplane
Eat it, you'll turn into waluigi
Lick it and tell us what you see!
I saw god, AND IM ATHEIST, jk, I’m not eating it, I’m smoking it /J Reddit mods, it’s just a joke ok?, just a joke
That’s funny, because god is an atheist too!
What flavour is it?
Friendly mushroom!
Giant mushy friiieeenndddd
L I C K I T
You know you want to..
I do😭😭
There’s an old man outside the Gerudo Desert that’ll pay a diamond for 55 of ‘em…
Hav you ever played Super Mario?
Man the new PvZ plant looks crazy
HAHAHAHAHA TIME FOR THE DOOM AND SHROOM SHOW 🗣🔥
Consuming it gives temporary mana and health boost.
Bro found the poison mushroom from Mario
It's a rushroom. Cook it, eat it, and you'll be on speed.
Hmmm… I can’t tell if this is a mana+hp buff or a poison debuff. If it’s a poison debuff, use a golden elixir vial to remove it and boost charisma by +2
Thanks for the tutorial
i heard that’s a loved gift for the wizard
Funnily enough I practice witchcraft
I would impose a 5 seconds rule on this
Bro just went up to a sleeping Gnome and stole his tip. Wth dude!
That’s been affected by the Happily Ever After potion, watch out for the evil Fairy Godmother if you eat that. You’ll have to pay the price!
Wait, shrek?
Indeed!
Doom shroom?!
Rushshroom.
what kind of power-up does that give you?
“Lifeless” 100 for 1 minute
You're going places with that one
lick it...
What happens if you lick it?
Reminds me of the purple mushrooms that grow on the shroombears in Made in Abyss.
Eat it you will get super powers
Nah, that’s totally a changeling from delicious in dungeon
I thought it was a turtle at first
Whose mushroom is smaller?
Dude, that mushroom isn’t purple
It is, my cameras might not have captured it so well
It’s a Lepitas
MUSHROOM!!!! MUSHROOM!!!! MUSHROOM!!!!
This is a trip you do not wanna go on 👀 stay away, wash your hands after touching.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks just like the poison mushroom used to make poison mushroom cookie in cookie run kingdom?
it's scaredy shroom from plants vs zombies
man poison mushroom cookie got unbaked
MUSHROOM MUSHROOM!
If the wild made it colourful stay away! Colour means it is not prey, it has no reason to hide
All its missing is a white skull on the cap and little noxius purple bubbles floating off it
Dwarf fortress mushroom!
L I C K I T
Eat it!(No, dont eat it!)
Worst advice ever: All mushrooms are edible, once.
Take a spore imprint of it and tell us the color of the imprint.
Looks like a fantasy game asset.
Elden Ring rare material vibes.
Looks like it might be a Wood Blewit (Clitocybe nuda), which is perfectly edible, but never accept mycological advice from the strangers on the internet including me.
I already asked an expert, apparently it’s a “Lepitas something” and it’s perfectly safe to eat
Lick it.
Can you smoke that?? >:)
Nope, too big to fit in a cigar
I mean... at least once
give that back to the elves
Maybe just take a photo in the wild instead of killing it?

So, you're an expert on what that looks like? Saw it up close, did you?

Naw - I think you're hiding something, now. It's OK, you can tell us. It's only reddit.....

Ahahaha - I'm just messing with you - not serious at all.
However, your initial comment was not needed on this subreddit - it just goes against the subject matter and main interest in this group, which is not inherently political in nature.
I have no idea what they commented, what happened?, I want to hear the drama
They initially commented that the picture reminded them of the sexual organ of a presidential candidate, which was totally unnecessary.
that shi would prolly emit poisonous green gas if u broke it open 💀
Everything about it says don't eat me.
