"Might make you ill" is a very mild description of
the symptoms of mushroom poisoning. :-)

I think that was deliberate understatement. A british form of humour
which doesn't work very well across usenet ;-)

No. That's about as strong as Agaricus poisoning goes. Around one person
in ten is affected, and the symptoms are nausea and sometimes,
diarrhoea.

Yeah. I realised after I posted that you wee still talking purely about
Agaricus, and not fungi in general. My misunderstanding. Sorry.
