Mushroom season-- Oregonian has an oops moment..

Post by pdxgene » August 31st, 2014, 3:48 pm

If you happen to have the actual printed Sunday Oregonian laying around look on pg7 of the A&E section for the article about matsutake mushroom season opening. And the nice big picture they provide.. of what Oregonlive now runs a correction for as an aminita muscaria. Oopsy.. Bummer if you decide to use their printed copy as id I suppose.. :lol:

Of course they're not deadly..
What could possibly go wrong when you combine wilderness with hallucination and being extremely disoriented.. :roll:

I can understand difficulty in ID'ing many mushrooms, but how could anyone get amanita wrong??
