There is something hinky about this story… I wonder if she thought they were the “magic” kind of mushrooms?

Agreed a 12yo girl who appears to dye her hair and wear makeup. I bet the parents are total arseheads. As for the deaths cap if it really was a deaths cap I doubt she would be around to tell the tale. More likely it was the fly agaric (amanita muscaria) she ingested. If it truly was A. phalloides she will likely require a liver transplant in the future.
I don’t know a thing about mushrooms, except they make great soup and some go very well with roast chicken. The other thing that I know is that all wild mushrooms are deadly poison. I learned as a child that even touching one was enough to earn an instant spanking. Peiper is right; the edible kind come from the grocery store wrapped in plastic.
Cute girl; she’ll grow up to be quite attractive if she doesn’t do anything else fatally stupid.
HMMM, I wonder if Health and Safety is gonna outlaw bike rides in the country and the eating or picking of any flora or fauna in the entire countryside.
BTW, Dont eat the Yellow Snow!!Mushrooms are better wrapped in plastic from the produce section at the Giant Eagle.
However, benefiting from the neighbor’s largess isn’t always a bad thing. My neighbor has taken up tomato gardening. With the bounty of my own feeble plants, I haven’t had to buy tomatoes for 2 years, and all my sandwiches have delicious fresh tomatoes on them. I have even canned some of them for winter eating and made some spaghetti sauce for later on.
I do however refuse the fast growing Zucchini as they overproduce.Just a thought…
