Fun fact, most people who died from poisonous mushrooms thought they or the one they trusted knew what they were doing. Thinking you know what you're doing doesn't prevent mushroom poisoning, thinking you know what you're doing is almost a prerequisite.

Well at a certain point you have to take responsibility for your own actions. I’m just saying it’s not hard to learn if you actually have the right instruction, either from someone who does know or from quality guides. The issue is as a beginner, you may not know what that looks like.

By the way, most poisonings happen when people just eat random things without even attempting to identify them. So it’s not like they died from the deadly false button mushroom or something. They’re just morons.

To be fair, a lot of them are children. But also some adults. It’s more common than you would think.

Plus we now have a new category of dum-dums: “But the app said it was edible!”

Again, I don’t want to imply that eating wild mushrooms is inherently safe. Just that it’s not difficult to learn how to do it safely.

A large category of dead mushroom hunters is people who know the mushrooms of where they are from, but find mushrooms elsewhere that look like a good one from home

In my city it's Chinese trained mushroomers thinking death caps are a good eating mushroom (it isn't)
