Perhaps the worst bit of UK ignorance is the belief that you should

the closest similarities between edible and lethal species are among

Such as?
I sometimes think it would be a better way of writing an identification book

and must/should be avoided" and work from there. Then "this is edible, there
is nothing even remotely similar to it" would be really handy!
