    By the way, most poisonings happen when people just eat random things without even attempting to identify them.

      To be fair, a lot of them are children. But also some adults. It’s more common than you would think.

      Plus we now have a new category of dum-dums: “But the app said it was edible!”

      Again, I don’t want to imply that eating wild mushrooms is inherently safe. Just that it’s not difficult to learn how to do it safely.

      A large category of dead mushroom hunters is people who know the mushrooms of where they are from, but find mushrooms elsewhere that look like a good one from home

      In my city it’s Chinese trained mushroomers thinking death caps are a good eating mushroom (it isn’t)
