Why is it very dangerous to eat wild mushrooms without proper training? What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: While many mushrooms are edible, not all are. Some like the Amanita phalloides can make you sick or even kill you. Others may contain compounds that could result in a dangerous
psychotic experience. As a result, you should leave the selection of edible mushrooms to the
experts.
