Point taken.

I don't eat mushrooms-- can't stand the texture. I heard a podcast episode re: death cap mushrooms and it was chilling. A guy in the podcast talked about tasting a death cap then spitting it out and rinsing his mouth. He said they had a good taste.

Absolutely horrifying.

There are old mushroom hunters

and there are bold mushroom hunters

but there are no old bold mushroom hunters.

All mushrooms are edible only once, unless you're into coprophagia
