Known product, known #mushroom, good.

But...

Here in #california now and then, we'd hear a sad story of someone, perhaps a new-comer to the region, gathering what they thought were edible mushrooms, but were actually #poisonous

Some mycologists at the Santa Cruz Fungus Faire decades ago, giving a lecture, described how they met a person who'd eaten some, said that they were delicious!

But that person said that in the hospital during their last few days alive.

Death caps?

#FlyAgaric, often labeled as #poisonous, are a crucial food source for Japanese #squirrels. 🍄🐿
It's believed that they have co-evolved over a long period. Some mushrooms may have even chosen squirrels as their partners.

"Four books have been removed from France's national library over concerns their covers may be laced with poisonous arsenic.
The 19th century volumes, printed in Britain, all have emerald green covers. Arsenic was commonly used to colour books at the time.
The texts taken off the shelves were identified as potentially dangerous by University of Delaware researchers.
The library said the books would only cause minor harm from handling them.
"We have put these works in quarantine and an external laboratory will analyse them to evaluate how much arsenic is present in each volume," said a spokesperson from the National Library of France."
