If it's got blue it's for you

If not let it rot

That's my motto

Chinese rules of thumb have killed many Chinese Australians and Americans via death cap (truth in naming) mushrooms that look like paddy straw mushrooms

The amatoxins in deathcap and its relatives is so incredibly scary... Like, picograms of the stuff in an adult human will just basically turn them off...

I mean, it’s a decent survival strategy for the mushroom, especially depending on where the animal dies.

Imagine that boost of nutrients

Apex predator mushrooms.

A decent survival strategy would be to be poisonous and recognizably colored. If you look like any other mushroom, it's just revenge-poisoning. Possibly with the side effect of animals not eating any mushrooms, but that doesn't sound like something that's in a given mushroom species' interest.

Sneaky death mushrooms get to break down the body, potentially

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Incredibly poisonous, food-colored, and with spores that can survive/germinate in a digestive tract.
