Today's post is about mushrooms. Be cautious about foraging wild mushrooms. Many poisonous varieties look very much like edible ones. Thousands of accidental mushroom poisonings occur in the United States every year.
For instance, the deadly death cap mushroom contains amatoxin, a very potent poison. Mushrooms with white gills under the cap, a ring around the stem, red coloring, or an unpleasant smell may be toxic.
Dr Alker suggest you go "foraging for mushrooms in the aisle of your supermarket".
