Fall is a beautiful time in the sub-arctic. Eggrole visited me over the weekend and we went mushroom hunting.
We did find enough fungi to make the wives happy. There were some Horn of Plenty and we saw a few Fly Agarics, which we didn’t pick — never mind the deadly Destroying Angel.
A batch of Horn of Plenty (Craterellus cornucopioides). They are
really tasty.
The Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) is a poisonous mushroom
but not as deadly as the Destroying Angel (Amanita virosa) below.
The Destroying Angel. This mushroom if consumed will kill you.

THIS PLANT IS GROWING IN MY FRONT AND BACK YARD.
MY QUESTION IS; HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THE WILD MUSHROOM?
Please advise me on distroying the poisonous mushroom.
Hi Michael, the first rule of thumb is not to touch mushrooms that you are not 150% familiar with. Are the gills under the cap white or violet?
Sorry, Michael, I though you meant the Amanita virosa. Why don’t you let it grow. It isn’t a deadly mushroom like the Amanita virosa type.
