Phil, A good example is in the Amanita group of species. There are a couple that are edible and taste good. But there are also a couple others that will kill you. I'd be afraid to touch any of them. We get a lot of Amanitas around here. But they scare me.

There are so many edible and poisonous species that look alike I wouldn’t attempt it unless I was POSITIVE of the species.

Phil, I did not reply, because I never heard of the stuff. I am not big on eating things that don't come from fast food places. There is a class of fungi called Jelly fungi that look sort of like bubble gum, but I a told they don't taste like it. They are edible, but so many fungi are poisonous, someone had better be sure what species something is before they eat it.
