Was it a blewitt type mushroom you ran afoul of? The trouble with
blewitts is they can be confused with various Corinarius. And there
are a lot of them that will make you sick or even kill you.

Maybe you should have checked the mushroom with the neighbors!

And watch their reactions!

Seriously, I'm interested in what Christine thought she had.

I meant cortinarius above.
