Well, are you going to teach us how to identify fungi? Common fungi? Ways of testing fungi? Anything else? Other than your advice of "don't eat it unless you know what it is", this isn't really helpful information.

I agree. how do we know the more exotic mushrooms in the supermarket are safe?
Of the many thousands of mushroom species in the world, only 32 have been associated with fatalities, and an additional 52 have been identified as containing significant toxins. By far the majority of mushroom poisonings are not fatal, but the majority of fatal poisonings are attributable to the Amanita phalloides mushroom.
