The History channel had a program on today about mushrooms, guess they should have watched it.

Seems to be a real problem among Asian immigrants. I think I read that there are no poisonous mushrooms in Asia or something.

Mushroom are interesting. I'll bet I have 20 or more different varieties of wild mushrooms growing (at different times) in my yard. I always scoop them up and put them in the trash because I don't want my dogs to eat them. I lost a dog several years ago to something that destroyed her liver, it might have been a mushroom.

We’ve picked wild mushrooms for years. Since I was a kid. Have them in gravy every Thanksgiving. Yes, you have to have an eye for what you’re picking.

We had a cat that could find patches of good mushrooms.

I've eaten wild mushrooms all my life and I still have a life because I only pick those I've eaten before. This is not a place to be adventurous or to say close is good enough.
