Rule #17 Eating Wild Mushrooms Can Kill You

Aptos woman dies after 10-day battle with toxic mushrooms

"It's not uncommon for foreigners to pick mushrooms in California that look like safe ones in their own countries but are really toxic, said toxicologist Beth Manning of the California Poison Control System in San Francisco.

'They think they know what they're picking,' Manning said."

Eating wild mushrooms can kill you. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, don't eat wild mushrooms. And maybe even if you do know exactly what you are doing you'd still be better off not eating wild mushshrooms. The upsides are pretty minimal compared with the downsides.

Rest in Peace, Epifania Miranda.
