Yes, there are some very dangerous fungi growing in our woodlands, that you really wouldn't want to experiment with.
Yes, we had reason to worry once and had to ask for medical advice ( unfortunately we had eaten what we thought were field mushrooms, given to us as field mushrooms by someone who suddenly had doubts ).
Apparently once you have eaten them some can get into your system and cause liver damage.
Fortunately everyone was ok and they really were field mushrooms, but it gave us a bit of a scare.
Really worrying that, a call from someone who is worried about the mushrooms they have given you, and you hav already eaten them
Much safer to get them from Asda.
I used to think nothing of picking them when I lived in the country, but then you know where they grow.
I think the medical advice given, scared me.
I'm not so confident now about picking them.
