Picked by heavy trafficked road

[VargVemund]

My first batch. Lots of traffic.

It’s literally drying now, but only two pieces.

Would you use it?

Also - I took it under the tap-water to rinse it a bit, and brushed off the white spots while doing it.

Are the white spots important somehow?

hard to tell as there is no picture, but I can tell you that the white dots are not important beyond helping identify the layer of flesh right below the skin is the highest concentration of actives.

Perfect thanks

I found this article that stated it is best not to use mushrooms that has been picked near roads unfortunately.

Some other surprising stuff in the article too
