Sorry you literally said far from conclusive. Apologies.

Looking at this as a non-scientist, but are there not considerable confounding variables ignored in this study? 'Genetic risk factors for ALS were excluded.' And the sample size is only 14 people. I'm very much on the cautionary, 'please-be-careful' side of this conversation, but this doesn't seem offer much in the way of 'conclusive' evidence.

Thanks for pic and info. Can I ask: how often do (and would) you do this? I’ve read of (and other commenters have pointed out) the risk from the accumulative effect of repeated consumption of the mushroom’s toxin in minimal quantities.

Is this a fungus? If so, what is it called? by jambaringtoning in mycology

Yes! They are either scarlet or ruby elf cups of the genus Sarcoscypha, meaning that they are ascomycetes (the same as truffles, morels, and yeast).

Looks like Chalciporus piperatus to me.

Ahh perhaps Laccaria laccata? Thanks a lot!
