don't eat it if it bruises blue

Or do if you're up for an interesting time and it passes the test above. Eat about three grams for some nice sights and 6 before sitting in a dark, cool room to meet something unknown

If it bruises blue, cut off a very thin slice from the center of the stalk and put it on agar until it creates mycellium. There's some other stuff you need after that which I'll be happy to help you with.

I don't think there are any harmful mushrooms that bruise blue but would love for an expert to chime in here

I dunno my roommate was weeping about the shadows coming for him and said he couldn't leave the bed for days and didn't know why we hadn't heard the screaming.... So, like, a little harmful.

Rubroboletus satanas is definitely poisonous. On the other hand, Imleria badia is very good. Bruising blue doesn't really say anything about edibility.

I'm not an expert, though.

Good to know, but definitely wouldn't mistake that stinky thing for an edible or fun mushroom
