Always remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch! Before eating any wild mushroom make absolutely sure of the identification
in a good field guide or the appropriate scientific literature. You MUST identify the mushroom with great care, and
you MUST identify it correctly. There's an old saying:
"There are old mushroom pickers, and there are bold mushroom pickers. But there are no old, bold mushroom pickers!"

Mushrooms picked to eat on 6th October, 2001. Good haul that weekend, lots of parasol mushrooms, pink gilled grisettes, small
puffballs, agaricus, pluteus, some coprinus and boletus.
