Amazing post as ever. Though I pity the fresh, moist and unmolested, H.erinaceus' fate. (Your way of describing is weirdly awesome. Haha). Good luck to you dber! I'll wait for the next mushroom hunting. XD
Hundred insects eating its guts is like some form of ancient Babylonia torture!
That is just too cruel! I guess it's fate of most edible mushrooms, if it's poisonous those bugs wouldn't dare. Just a guess though.
Unfortunately for even poisonous mushrooms many of the chemicals that would wreck a humab body are no problem at all for other animald and insects. Definitely can't use the presence of ingestion by other life forms as a sign of toxins in either direction
