4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This is such a misleading title.
"Calcium alternative ’cyanide’ highly toxic!"
"Housecat alternative 'Siberian tiger' highly dangerous!"
I'm fairly certain that any psilocybin containing mushroom isn't poisonous. I could be very wrong, don't take chances on some randos parroted fact.
Maybe don't share random unverified information in the first place for the sake of community safety and responsibility.
No studied psilocybe species contains any dangerous amount of secondary toxins so far, but there are dozens of species that haven't been tested thoroughly or specifically for secondary toxins, and we're discovering new psilocybe species all the time, so sticking with the species we do know only contain psilocybin and psilocin is a lot safer then assuming anything about such a vast and growing group of fungi, especially when misidentification is so simple.
Heh. I did put a huge disclaimer in my post. Thanks for further clarifying the issue though, its appreciated. Mushrooms are pretty fascinating.
Haha, yeah but the disclaimer should go at the top.
I agree mushrooms are amazing. I'm pretty interested in how we're going to take advantage of the material properties of mushrooms, seems like you can make pretty sturdy construction materials from them，woven fibers, styrofoam. I remember reading someone was working a mycoplastic, leather, tons of biomaterials.
Eat all the mushrooms?
Government: this thing you want is illegal
Media: new thing being used because old thing is illegal turns out to be way more dangerous
Government: this new thing is illegal
Media: new new thing being used because old new thing is illegal turns out to be way, way more dangerous
Government: surprised Pikachu face
This is stupid. So immensely stupid. Fly agaric is not something you should ever consume.
I need this
