I only pick up mushrooms I know for sure are edible.
'shroom joke:
~ ... in a green forest, a hunter buddies gathered then prepared a very tasty wild mushroom dish.
but to be sure it's not poisonous, they first gave the little portion to the hunting cabin's resident cat.
The cat ate all he was given, then purring loudly went lie down to sleep.
the hunters agreed it's safe to eat the delicious looking mushroom dish they cooked, and went ahead to eat it.
while almost finished, they noticed the cat suddenly went up, writhing and tossing and frothing at the mouth in agony!
they immediately run to their cars to drive to the ER for stomach pumping!
when they come back cold, tired, hungry, their throat and stomachs sore from the unpleasant treatment,
they went to check how the poor cat is doing.
was he even still alive? did he suffer badly dying?
They felt very silly realizing while they went to ER to pump stomach, the cat, who turned out to be a queen,
has given birth to a few little kitties !! that's why she was writhing, tossing and frothing
They wasted all that good food for nothing !!
