Over here the field guides don't recommend eating verpas due to some poison in it
The last one has hydrazine in it which is toxic so most people don't harvest them.

Yeah, that is the case. I've read also articles that say - hydrazine depends on the usual level of temperatures in the local area. Locations with hotter temperatures make the mushroom produce this toxin, and N hundreds of kilometres to the north and minus 1-2 C degrees - researches state there is no trace of poison in these mushrooms, i.e. it is safe to eat.
But guides do dont conduct urgent researches - the info is being copypasted from and old sources on and on and on and on... )

So I join you in picking these mushrooms..... especially since they're so meaty!
