But be careful, two of the top experts in the field of mushroom care
died a while back through mis-identifying edible mushrooms!

Must have been self-appointed experts then. I really can't think of one
edible mushroom an expert could confuse with a deadly species.

OK, there are a lot of edible mushrooms I wouldn't touch because I
haven't a powerful enough microscope to examine the spores to *make
sure*, but that's because I acknowledhe the limitations of my expertise.

I have been eating wild mushrooms unscathed since about 1950...

a mind unhinging experience? :-)
