I'm still waiting to hear of a single mistake in the Russian branch of my
family.
Got some 80 year olds (plus) out there, not a single upset tummy, and three
generations of mushroom hunters behind them, all doing find.

Of course, people occasionally make mistakes and pour rat poison instead of
salt, too. Or grab their baby and use it as a weapon instead of using a
club
(see alt.true-crime).

Would love to know more about exactly where to look - no mushrooms here
in SoCal, none when I'm in Utah, either, at least not near where I live.
