HAHA great thread, in the village in Sicily where my mother is from they make the oldest person in the village eat the freshly picked batch of mushrooms first in case they are poisonous!! haha I swear no joke.. How nuts is that!
Haha. The old people probably tell that to the young people so the young people bring them fresh mushrooms. Those Italians know and cherish their shrooms, I doubt an old Ital would eat a deadly species, but it's hard to speak in generalizations.
It is etiquette here to share finds with the older people who still love fresh shrooms but cannot physically gather them (or at least as much as you). Perhaps it's some sort of mushie karma.
which are the shrooms that trip u out?
Very cool, Eating wild mushrooms is like filirting with death if you dont know what you are doing lol
