This person fervently recommended that you seek out medical assistance as soon as possible.

For the sake of continued life, it may be extremely beneficial to take milk thistle seed, or its extract, silymarin, which may help. It may be life saving, and if the medical system there is like here the doctors may not give it to you because it’s an herb.

I have not personally dealt with amatoxin poisoning but have read about it.

I found these 2 beauties growing in The soil in a deforested área in The Amazon jungle.

When it was raw, it was spongy and fleshy . But when i boiled them in a soup they almost desintegrated.

I'm spreading The mycelium i'm a wet cardword using The sandwich technique. And it seems it's working.

Any idea of The name of this fungi ?

These mushrooms have been consumed for thousands of years. And only a few cases of infection by this fungus have been documented in people with a compromised immune system. I don't think it's much of a problem for healthy people. In fact, I'm going to start growing this fungus at home. It has a lot of potential.

Hi everyone,  

I am  experimenting folding trees and connecting them. I'm planning to build a plant tunnel (like a greenhouse or growing tunnel) as part of a permaculture design. The idea is to grow Amazon cucurbits inside The tunnel ( too much sun destroy then), and outside the tunnel i'm gonna grow beans. I want to make sure the tunnel is oriented to maximize sunlight, maintain good ventilation, and work well with the local climate.  

My question is:  

What is the best orientation for a plant tunnel in permaculture, considering the sun’s direction, prevailing winds, and thermal efficiency?

For example, in terms of:  
- Long axis of the tunnel (east-west or north-south)  
- Roof inclination  
- Placement in relation to ventilation and natural shade  

Any practical experience or specific recommendations would be very helpful.  

Thanks in advance!

This mushroom has been a great discovery for me. Yesterday I picked a bag of these mushrooms and made myself a miso soup with them. And wow. Really good. Its texture is like meat. It replaces meat very well and also when you eat it, you feel something substantial in your stomach. Plus, they can be dried and then rehydrated.

Thanks

It says “not edible although Brazilian Indians are reported to eat it boiled”. One could say the same about beloved acorns, or morels, or milkweed, or any number of excellent food plants!—So may need special processing?



I don't know how to make spore prints but i'll check that out.
I found this mushroom in a Lot of places in the amazon jungle  and i thought it was not edible because its was hard to chew, but then i discovered that it's edible but it needs to be cooked and usually native use to select The Youngest ones.  Next tome i'm gonna make a soup and i'll let You know how was that.
