Comment on Honey mushrooms

A seasoned collector once advised us, if we try a new type of mushroom, start with a only a handful, maybe even less, and see if it upsets your stomach. If it doesn’t, you can eat more.
Also obviously never force other people to participate in such experiments. You never know if they can tolerate the same mushrooms as you do.

Yes, definitely what we usually do with new species but took a little extra care this time because GI upset seems to be common. When I got mushroom poisoning from the C. brunneum it was a group lunch so definitely learned my lesson, I think Chlorophyllum tends to cause a high number of issues too.
