Adventures in mowing
Weather being what it has been, there have been more than a few fungi gracing our lawn. I wasn’t exactly going to pluck ’em and eat them, despite their overall yummy appearance, but I did want to see what they were. And of course they were amanita muscaria, toxic and nasty. Nice.
My maternal grandfather almost died from eating an amanita he’d picked off of his front lawn. Don’t think he was an experienced mushroom hunter, just got the proverbial wild hair and decided to have a go.
