This was a thing in Switzerland. Families died every year. In every canton there was an office to visit with your foraged mushrooms to have them checked before you ate them. There was no excuse. But people are so stupid-proud they didn’t go.
I’m shocked that so many of these people [are they US citizens?] are immediately sent to the top of the list of liver transplants!
Even Steve Jobs had to move to get a liver.
Do we give them out?
I was once thinking of taking up mushroom gathering, but after some research realized that I’d never be able to tell the good from the bad without a lifetime of study. As the old saying goes: There are old mushroom hunters, and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters.
