Edible
IS it edible ? Robin48gx 12:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * According to the article, it's not edible. Last sentence of the opening paragraph. BigBen212 15:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * www.google.com sez:


 * http://www.fao.org/docrep/007/y5489e/y5489e06.htm "Edible in the Russian far east (Vasil’eva, 1978); said to be poisonous in Slovenia (www.matkurja.com) and by other field guides."


 * http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Andes/8046/edible.html "Devil's Boletus (Boletus Satanas) causes unpleasant syptoms even when taken in small amounts. Similar poisoning is caused by the Bitter Bolete (Tylopilus Felleus), Peppery Bolete (Chalciporus Piperatus) and Boletus Calopus all of which have an unpleasant peppery or bitter taste."


 * http://bugs.bio.usyd.edu.au/Mycology/Animal_Interactions/Toxins/tableToxicFungi.html says "P", or "Poisonous (usually non-lethal, symptoms severe)"


 * Has anyone expired from ingesting B. calopus? Is it humanly possible to get past the taste to actually eat enough to kill you?  mdf 16:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Depends what you term edible. I guess the taste renders it inedible and/or mildly poisonous. Also there is the problem of regional variation and whether fungi far apart are in fact different species (as is suspected with this one). Sounds interesting to follow up on though.Cas Liber 20:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Just looked up the refs, some interesting reading there. I note that the author Vasil'eva notes a few other species as edible that others regard as poisonous or inedible. Cas Liber 23:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
