denny.micro.blog@Denny It looks a bit like Red Fly-mushroom as we call it, (rød fluesopp), which is almost the same as you called it.
@odd in a better universe it would be called the candy apple spice mushroom and would be edible - sweet, salty, spicy, and delicious.  Unfortunately in our timeline it will kill you, or make you very sick I don’t know which really. I just know they’re not to be eaten!
@Denny Yes, same with our fluesopp. Your kidneys will eventually fail, unless you get pumped (out) pretty quick. 🍄
@odd Yup. Wikipedia says citation needed for use by the Sami, but I think it is true. Citation is given for indigenous people of Siberia.
@jeremycherfas In the Norwegian Wikipedia-page it says that there hasn’t been recorded any deaths from it, (contrary to what we were told as kids). It also says it has Muscimol as the most potent hallucinogen.* It doesn’t mention the Saami, but notes that in Eastern Europe it is cooked several times, with fresh water every time, and used for food. 🍄
*) I’ve heard stories about the Vikings, and that they were getting high on this, but I assumed that was only tall stories.
