All the article says is eat mushrooms. Nowhere does it say pick your own fungi. Fair enough it doesn't tell people not to pick their own or provide any warnings but if they're stupid enough to do that without knowing what they're doing then that's their fault.

Enter your comments here -
Nice photo of the fungus, but publishing generic advice about the health benefits of eating fungi can be really dangerous., especially if they are inadequately identified.
Many are poisonous.
Some are lethally toxic to humans.
No fungus ought be eaten unless it has been positively identified, and verified to be safe to eat.

It is not an "Ink Cap" (much too short)
"It also resembles, based on an old faulty memory, ...." is.... More

The mushroom pictured appears to be an inky-cap; techinically edible in that you probably won't get sick, but hardly a culinary variety. It also resembles, base on an old faulty memory, a Psilocybe baeocystis which is a type of "magic mushroom".

I'm thinking someone just wanted to show how much they know about mushrooms. What do most people get out of this? A nice photo and a recommendation to eat mushrooms. I get mine at the store. How 'bout you?
