The thing is a fungus, it’s decaying plant matter. Why eat a food that is in effect a natural poison?
Morels are not a poisonous mushroom........Sorry I didn't clarify that.
You don’t garden, do you?
Plants love compost, which comes from decaying plant matter. (Some use manure based compost, but that’s different.)
Fungus is a form of life that changes from spore to mushroom, (in this case), and back.
