    FYI you can actually safely lick all mushrooms that we know off. The bad ones will taste bitter if there’s every a confusion between the species. Though if you’re really unsure don’t risk it.

      I think there are surprisingly few poisonous ones out there, and fewer that could actually kill somebody.

        at least no one ever returning from a forest said a mushroom had killed him.
