Gyromitra esculenta.
A common fungus on southern Vancouver Island in early spring. Guidebooks list it as "toxic" and there have been fatalities recorded from consumption. The primary toxin, gyromitrin, is water soluble so boiling the mushrooms and discarding the water removes most of the toxin. But, gyromtrin hydrolyzes to monomethylhydrazine (aka rocket fuel) that is toxic when inhaled. So prepare them outside or in a room with good ventilation.

He tenido en casa un par de situaciones que requerían especial atención, tanto por trabajo como por familia. Mientras encuentro el tiempo para volver por aquí, me hace mucha ilusión compartir con vosotros mi texto más bizarro en una buena temporada. Sobre setas e internet. Una cosita que si se entiende en algún sitio es solo en #Mushtodon

Saw some moss today and wondered if those adorable little things on stalks in the center are tiny mushrooms or part of the moss evolution. Anyone know? #Mosstodon #Mushtodon

small. nice-looking. good.

The trillums are blooming, which is nice in and of itself, but is also an indictor that the spring fungi should be arriving soon. If I'm lucky, there'll be some morels and verpas where I found them last year around this time.

Also, I learned recently that there’s not two morphs of Trillium: white and purple. But rather that the flowers start out white and change to purple over their lifecycle.
