This mushroom can make about 1 in 5 people quite ill but is a good
edible one if you are one of the lucky ones. The only way to find out
is to try a small amount of mushroom and wait 24 hours to see if you
have an adverse reaction.
When picking any fungus for consumption,
caution should be exercised at all times.
