Don't try if they are edible Ed. A couple of days ago, in my country, a woman died after she had eaten some shrooms which were found by her in a nearby wood. She was known as a specialist in indifying shrooms, but she has made just one mistake by thinking that poisoned shrooms were edible as they were very similar to the edible species.
Fine post though.

I hope a grapefruit doesn't fall on them Huck. Good shot and I am still smiling over Sea's remark. I know it is sad but it has such a sense of irony with the lady mushroom expert.
Such a sweet 'shroom family, Mama, Papa, and child...
Where we stayed in south Florida some years back there was a grapefruit tree... I loved it... just reach out your hand and pluck breakfast as you go by... ;-)
