Yes, it wasn't that long ago that a family became ill and one member died
after eating mushrooms that they picked on the nature trail in my town.
According to the paper it was a horrible death with liver failure etc. I
pick mine from the grocery store too.

Only things I have ever picked wild to eat were dandelion greens and
berries. Would never pick mushrooms.

I think it was the writer of Horse Whisperer who inadvertently
poisoned his whole family in Scotland.

I know it's a hobby people enjoy, but don't look up the mushroom
After dinner like he did. When everyone's writhing in pain, that
might be a little late.

Did you ever see the movie 'The Beguiled'? Very early Clint Eastwood
(not a Western). Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned... or in this
case, a house full of women/girls at school for young ladies during the
Civil War. Spoiler: in the end he was poisoned at the dinner table
after eating mushrooms the youngest girl picked *especially for him*.
After all, he'd killed her pet turtle. Very strange movie.

......and yet, Netflix positions it as a "classic". Personally, I
thought it sucked. A "cult" film, maybe, but "classic"????
