Ain't that just the truth.
My mushroom books are now just for identification interest only. Not
whether they say they are safe to eat. It really is potentially fatal and
I was lucky to get away with being on the toilet for two days and not
being in a coffin.
They look so benign exactly like the good ones..or my one did anyway.

Well, it is just a variety of food poisoning really-
most people have had the toilet experience from naughty chicken and fish.
Just that with the naughty fungi, the poison is a permanent resident and
can be more toxic.

Yes, it can be a death experience. Do Not Eat any fungi in your garden
unless you know what it is.


I'd have thought that eating Anything in your garden at this time of
year could be the death of you, not just unknown fungi from the garden.
