_______
- Never eat uncooked mushrooms (even mushrooms from the store); they are all carcinogenic in their uncooked forms
- Never eat a mushroom unless you have first showed them to a mycologist
- Do not put mushrooms in plastic bags (use paper instead!); they suffocate the living organisms
- Do not buy mushrooms that are pre-cut and/or in plastic from stores; Fungi are living creatures, and many produce urea as they expire
- Do not eat toxic mushrooms for obvious reasons
- Leave mushrooms for for other people to see! Do not kick them over. If you must take a sample, take a small amount of the fungus to allow for future growth.
