Boletes

These are Boletus mirabilis or Xerocomellus zelleri

Mushrooms, edible or poisonous?

Grandma found these in the backyard, Washington state. 

We are trying to research what type they are.

Good people on Facebook reported it as:

• Looks like Amanita Pantherinoides buttons... toxic, not for consumption.

The problem with mushrooms in general, 

And specifically with this one is that they look a little like:

• Shiitake, 
• a little like puffball,  
• white flower mushroom.

Is water retention caused by allergens? (Mushrooms)

I have been steadily losing excess weight on the keto diet, which is good; I have a few more to go before my optimal Spartan weight.

I monitor my "dry weight" every morning before I drink or eat and after I use the restroom.

Yesterday, I ate mushrooms in the sauce, which I know I am allergic to because of allergy tests I did and the fact my mouth is tingling after I eat them.

I did not feel good in the evening; my stomach was upset, but there were no major events. I took NyQuil to knock me out, but it did not really help, except for making me really drowsy this morning.

Other than that, yesterday I had a good diet of 2 eggs, hummus, bulletproof coffee, a lard-fried filet mignon, and some bigos (sour cabbage hunter stew).

This morning I have gained a little weight, yet, I was expecting to loose some.

I suspect my allergic reaction caused some water retention (swelling). In fact, I have read that when people cleanse, the first few pounds they lose are water.

Please comment if you suspect otherwise or if you had a similar observation.
