Warning: Through out the site I refer to different mushroom kinds as either edible, not edible or unknown. as different people react differently to different mushrooms, I can not guarantee the edibility of any species featured on this site. Also, as I mentioned on my home page, I am no expert in mycology and must warn you that unless you have done your own homework and are 100% sure that a mushroom is edible, do not attempt to eat it and if you do then you do so at your own risk!!
