How to Tell Mushrooms
Newspaper reports show that the usual number of people are eating toad stools which they mistake for mushrooms and only find out the difference when they get sick. The sure test of the difference is to eat what you think are mushrooms. If you live they are all right. If they kill you they are toad stools.

LostAspen Ahhh! I went mushroom hunting twice this month and didn't find any edible ones (well, the first time we were looking for 2 specific types, and didn't know some of the others were edible--went and got a mushroom book after that). Pretty sure 11is an edible (possibly delicious) puffball--here's a page about them: http://americanmushrooms.com/edibles3.htm

jenjung I guess that is one way to tell! : )

I found a fairy ring in one of the parks we were performing at over the summer. when i went back to take a picture of it, some kids had stomped all over it. I didn't even get to make a wish. : (
