Playboy interview (1972): "And what about the mushrooms you can't identify for certain? Is there any simple test that will insure they're safe?"

Euell Gibbons: "None whatever. ... Here in Pennsylvania — but not in other places — it would almost work to say that if a green plant tastes good, it is good. But even that rule won't work with mushrooms. It's been reported by people — just before they died — that the Amanitas vera tastes very good."
