Hoosierfunguy Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 About 15 years ago, I moved into a wooded lot out in the country. Mushrooms that I had never seen before, began growing all over my lawn. This one in particular was enticing, because it looks so wholesome and good and has a sweet, delicious aroma. I love eating mushrooms so I was really wanting to try some of these fungal delights, but I knew that there were poisonous mushrooms in the wild, so I set out to learn how to identify them. I'm glad that I did, because what looked and smelled like a very delicious mushroom is actually one of the most deadly mushrooms in North America Amanita bisporigera aka "Destroying Angel" Always check for look alike mushrooms when contemplating consuming a newly discovered treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Definitely a sobering story for any novice mushroom hunter. Amatoxins are deadly, and I never eat anything unless *I* know what it is. Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
