They look like they'll glow and make a soft bell noise if I stand next to them and press "A".

Elden Ring. You'll see the glow of the item way off in the distance, spend all day fighting through shit to reach it and when you finally do...

"Why is it always mushroom?" ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I bet they are insanely poisonous, but maybe they aren't. I'm not confident enough in my identification to say if they are for sure.

Turns out AI is already fucking up mushroom images, so making a positive identification is only going to become more difficult.

I saw a good amount of the AI gen ones when trying to look up these already, it's really bad. Probably only going to get worse in the future.

There's already AI slop books on mushroom identification.

Yeah I heard amazon had to take down a lot of them.

If I see gills I'm not touching it.

There actually aren't THAT many mushrooms that are "insanely" poisonous. There are a lot that will make you quite sick though and enough that are insanely poisonous though. There are also some that will make you meet god in a different way.

Even if it doesn't kill you, it can be very bad if it makes you vomit a lot and get severe diarrhea, can even be indirectly fatal depending on circumstances. Also what's worse about the ones which are insanely poisonous is that many look insanely boring.

I know, I've tried hallucinogenic mushrooms before when I was a teenager. Suffice to say I didn't like what they made me see, lots of scary shit, was not a pleasant experience, plus made me feel sick afterwards. 0/10 would not recommend, plus it was illegal but thankfully neither me nor my friend got in any trouble.

I thought it's a kind of mushroom that only grows on corpses. Since we're both too lazy too look it up, who knows!
