Does it say which ones go on pizza, which make you see things and which ones will kill you?

I love botanical gardens, I love naturalist illustrations and models, I love mushrooms. You really hit the jackpot there, @OP. Now I'm jonesing for some green time. Gonna have to hit up my local Oudolf garden on the way to sailing.

I thought mushrooms fell under mycology not botany?
circlebreaker
Mycology is simply a branch of botanical study.

Well fair enough then

All Mushrooms are edible. Only a few are edible more then once.
FiftyShadesOfBroccoli
There are subtle differences between edible (physically edifying), palatable (pleasant in taste), eatable (worse than palatable, but still tolerable) and ingestible (simply able to be swallowed). This should be "all mushrooms are ingestible". Ruins the joke, but so does misuse of "edible", which excludes anything less-than-edifying by definition.
RoutemasterFlash
Can't believe you've been upvoted after posting this absolute untruth.
albaboss
Only a few?? There are literally only 4 truely deadly species of mushroom in the US. Mushrooms are awesome and not nearly scary as we think
keoghberry
Still... better to be over cautious than under
cabalin
When learning to identify mushrooms for eating, it’s best to learn the poisonous ones first
RoutemasterFlash
Well no sane person is going to eat a wild fungus *or* plant if they aren't sure it's edible, but it's not good to spread misinformation either.
Wmcmwa
Yeah. Plants however... plants be cray
RoutemasterFlash
IKR? There are far more deadly (and psychoactive) plants than there are fungi. Oddly enough people posting photos of wild plants don't generally get comments about how they'll almost certainly kill you if you eat them.
Wmcmwa
Or cause severe skin reactions etc. I'll stick to foraging mushrooms
RoutemasterFlash
I love picking blackberries, elderberries, elderflower, wild garlic, that sort of thing. But there's far more wild mushroom species I can ID as edible than plants, I'll admit.

The Harvard museum of natural history in Cambridge MA has a collection of plants used as study tools. They’re made entirely of glass. The majority of the hundreds of specimens were made in the late 1800s- early 1900s. They are absolutely magnificent. They are exact replicas of the plants they represent. Some pieces are enlarged to show detail and are really interesting. Coolest part is their realism. These things are indistinguishable from the real deal. https://hmnh.harvard.edu/glass-flowers

I love their taxidermied animals that are like 180 years old and look it.

:O Nice! I have to visit!
OozyRatInASanitaryZoo
Also the Field Museum in Chicago. It's great to pop in to the hall of plants if you're getting overwhelmed by the crowds.
CityYeti
Oh wow, I never even heard of this place. I gotta check out these museums one of these days!
vanderzee
this is phenomenal, wish i could vist

My grandmother (an avid gardener who brought home seeds from nearly every place she visited) took me to see the glass flowers when I was a child. At the time I couldn't appreciate them for what they were. I tried, but they just looked like plants, and I guess I was expecting colorful, see-through creations of art, not realism. Many years and many art hobbies later, I am able to see how incredible it is, how much detail each tiny leaf, petal, and stamen holds.
MrsSlavicHorse
Amazing museum, I spent probably an hour just in the exhibit with minerals
icannotthinkofanyrationalname
I came here precisely to post this. I have been there twice, an amazing little museum. The glass plants are spectacular, you have to seem them to appreciate it, they do not look the least bit to be made of glass. While you are there, check out the mineral collection as well.

Never thought I would want to go to Massachusetts.... now I have a reason
icannotthinkofanyrationalname
If you go to Boston to see this, plan to be there at least three days. Go up to see "Old Iron Sides" and plan to walk the full length of the Freedom Trail, and tour a few of the stops along it. Leave 'Faneuil Hall' as the last thing on your list. There are so many other things to see in Boston. I don't live there, my daughter went to college in the city, and every time we went up to move her in or out, we set aside one extra day to just be in the city. Every trip was another discovery.
JustaSimplePlumber
As a Bostonian, you need a minimum of a week to fully see all Boston has to offer and at least two to three weeks to fully appreciate the rest of New England as well.
icannotthinkofanyrationalname
You cannot see all of Boston in three days. I well know that, but a lot of people don't have endless vacation, so they tuck road trips into three day weekends. Which is my experience with Boston, moving a student into a dorm in September and moving back out in May. But you can easily walk the entire Freedom Trail in a day, including stops. And that alone is a worthwhile thing. You can see the Harvard Natural History Museum in the morning, and then go tour aboard the USS Constitution later.
icannotthinkofanyrationalname
These are just a couple highlights. You could spend a whole day just walking around MIT and Harvard. You could spend a week walking the Emerald Necklace, if the weather was good. Or go to the Museum of Science, fun even for adults. Don't miss the 'lightning' show! And your Museum of Fine Arts is lovely! Over all though, how do you feel about leaving Fanueil Hall as the last thing on the list?
JustaSimplePlumber
If your staying in Boston then I feel it should be a day one stop for lunch, that way you can continue stopping in for lunch, there’s so many places to try. I get to work down there often. Clam chowder in a bread bowl one day, to sausage peppers and onions the next. I love that place. Then of course the north end right across the street. (Best pizza is Ernesto’s on Salem street, best greasy spoon cheeseburger is mangia mangia on Fleet Street)
SaschaDB
Yep! That's cool! We need more mushrooms on Imgur!

I think they just finished purging a lot of those...

Awesome! Have you ever eaten a mushroom you shouldn't be eating?
RoutemasterFlash
If you mean mushrooms that are legally frowned on, then yeah, I've had those a bunch of times.
RoutemasterFlash
How do you mean "shouldn't"? I've never been ill as a result of a bad ID, if that's what you mean.
Soufange
Mushrooms come in 3 forms: lunch, death, and hell of a ride.
RoutemasterFlash
That's what everyone says, but the vast majority are none of those things.
