The consequences of making a wrong guess or a misidentification about whether a mushroom is edible can be severe, sometimes requiring a liver transplant or even resulting in death. There were 6,429 cases of people eating poisonous mushrooms and two deaths from toxic mushrooms in 2011, the last year for which data is available, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers in Alexandria, Virginia.
So only about 1 / 750,000th dangerous as getting in a car. Seems pretty legit to me. I love foraging...besides you know what they say....
All mushrooms are edible! Some only once :P
I'd rather take my chances living out under the great sky and proud forests, then kill myself slowly on slave food that is very "safe".
