It's a good idea to pick up a couple mushrooming books & heed all the
warnings. Check with a local authority for a recommendation.

"Gravity isn't just a good idea; it's the law!" Picking and eating
wild mushrooms without being absolutely sure of identification is
dangerous. And hearing from someone who knew someone who... is one of
the ways people end up in the emergency room with some very nasty
symptoms. Jim's advice is good. I only quarrel with its lack of
emphasis.
