    Idk if op meant to fearmonger, but mushrooms are hardly ever toxic and hardly ever fatal.

    It is now thought that of the approximately 100,000 known fungi species found worldwide, about 100 of them are poisonous to humans.[14] However, by far the majority of mushroom poisonings are not fatal,[15] and the majority of fatal poisonings are attributable to the Amanita phalloides mushroom

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_poisoning

    That said, definitely be safe and if you arent sure, dont eat it.

        That seems unlikely to be murder, people really don’t generally murder friends who are close enough to invite to lunch

          She’s in jail right now.

          I don’t think there has been a verdict yet though.

          Edit: she’s

      I’m less interested in the total number of species, and more interested in my likelihood of holding one

        I see about 5 unknown mushrooms for every one known deadly one (death cap, growing under the canopy of an oak)
