Yep, don't fuck around with fungus 🍄🟫 it is different in every region and country in the world.
A place I lived near had a bunch of Asian college students all die because they went mushroom 🍄 hunting and picked up what looked edible (it would have been if they were back home). However... In the USA it was a type of death cap that caused them all to die a quick but extremely painful death.
I had North American field survival books when I was a kid. They had color pictures of all of the mushrooms that you could find and little write ups about if they were edible, poisonous or had some other property. Anyhow, at the top of that section, they advised to just never eat wild mushrooms becauee even experts can misidentify them and get the big problems that go with that.
Gruesome.
