The Dangers of Toadstools

Four children died at Sebastopol a few days ago from eating toadstools, and their parents are both dangerously ill from the same cause. They had gathered the toadstools from an adjoining field, thinking they were "edible mushrooms." With all the good things that there are to eat in this world, it seems too bad that people think they have to get such a fungus plant for their table as the mushroom. The truly proper foods do not require the knowledge of an expert to tell whether or not they will kill you if you eat them.
