The message
from martin contains these words:

There are literally thousands of fungi which are referred to as
'mushrooms', and not all of them are edible, and some are poisonous.

I was going by what are claimed to be web sites of edible fungus
experts. They stand corrected :-)

So they should be. May I refer them to such real experts as Dr. John
Ramsbottom (Late curator of Mycology, British Museum of Natural History)
and Roger Phillips, whose excellent book Mushrooms and Other Fungi of
Great Britain and Europe (ISBN 0 330 26441 9) was recommended to me by
the British Museum.

Dr. Ramsbottom wrote (inter alia) Mushrooms and Toadstools, Collins New
Naturalist Series. (Pre ISBN)
