"Edible" doesn't just mean something can be consumed. It means it can be consumed safely. Otherwise, anything that can be swallowed would be "edible."
Meanwhile, in other circles, edible means it gets you high, so they're kinda onto something there. Though honestly, I'll pass on anything that makes me puke and gives me the shits. It's not that important to me to see a pink elephant when I look at my dog.
Although usually used as a noun rather than an adjective in that case.
Also, people who drink alchool also vomit and people who drink coffee shit a lot...this fungus seems the combination of LSD, (too much) alchool and coffee
A. muscaria can be consumed safely, if you know how to prepare it.
"Is this mushroom edible?"
"Yes."
eats it
"...IF prepared properly first."
The same could be said for... let's say cashew nuts. If it isn't prepared properly, it's pretty toxic.
And apparently a cashew isn't even a nut
This is some Doctor Strange spellbook shit. "Why would they put the warnings at the end?"
One of those preparations is “filtered through a shaman’s (or in some cases, a reindeer’s) kidneys.”
Yes, Inuits would sometimes drink the urine from a shaman who had eaten A. Muscaria, and I have read (but not from a scholarly source so I’m not swearing to it) that in Siberian tribes they would do the same thing but with a reindeer doing the filtering.
Yes, sorry, I meant just "not deadly unless you're really going for it"
