If you don't know exactly what you are doing... Don't fuck around with mushrooms.

From the post:

>Four people have died in California after eating death cap mushrooms as officials continue to issue warnings to foragers in the state. More than 35 cases of death cap poisonings have been reported to health officials since November 18, including four deaths and three liver transplants.
The California Department of Public Health is urging people to avoid mushroom foraging altogether this year because death cap mushrooms are easily confused with safe, edible varieties. The death cap is one of the most poisonous mushrooms in the world and is part of a small group of mushrooms containing amatoxins, which are highly potent compounds causing 90 per cent of fatal mushroom poisonings globally.

Only morons don't know the look, smell, places, etc... For the various times of the local area.

It is extremely likely that 90%+ of these people are non-White and possibly Asian or Indian. (I don't think I have ever seen blacks hunt for mushrooms).

They see something that looks safe based on where they are from but in our country that shit will kill you and it will be extremely painful the entire time. You don't hear about White people going to Asian countries and dying from mushroom hunting do you?
