That’s wild! The article mentions it a bit but based on your comment I did more research, black morels or morels in general can cause really bad gastro issues.
Most articles and papers say is they are undercooked or just eating a ton of them like you did can cause what you felt on it’s own. You didn’t even have to eat a false morel! I had no idea, good to know!
You would think so, right? But funnily enough, whenever we find a new type of hominid that existed around us (neanderthals, denisovans, homo florensiensis), we find out that humans interbred with them and they are a part of our modern human DNA.
I bet humans learned to “other” things that look like humans so they could do things like avoid the sick and dead, dehuminize other tribes to kill them in war. All the very human things we do now.
