With considerable ceremony, Dr. Bastien ate 70 grams of the mushrooms in Geneva last week and then said he would survive without monkeys or transfusions. His antidote was nifuroxazid acid and neomycine, two drugs obtainable in France without a prescription. After a few days in a hotel bed and some nausea, Dr. Bastien got up and drove home.
Every spring, late summer, and fall, I hunt mushrooms in France. There are delicious ones that cannot be mistaken for the toxic ones. I search for about seven or eight specific ones. Everything else iignore although there are some that are edible and other people like but i find not to my taste. A true woodsman taught me about the good mushrooms and I have always followed his advice. It is true that in France one may take mushrooms to the pharmacy to be verified if in doubt. They are most helpful.
