🍄Saddle Fungi and False Morels
Helvellaceae
A family of cup fungi with saddle-shaped or brain-like fruiting bodies. False morels contain the toxin gyromitrin, which is converted to rocket fuel (monomethylhydrazine) in the body.
Source: Wikipedia💡False morels contain gyromitrin, which metabolizes into monomethylhydrazine, the same chemical used as rocket fuel. Despite this, they are eaten as a delicacy in Scandinavia after special preparation.
