Sometimes ... just sometimes, I come across a wild mushroom story that takes my breath away.
I found this on You Tube.
And I'm just speechless.
And before you ask - no, it isn't me!!

When will they learn?
Spanish mushroom collector Jose Manuel Hidalgo got into a disagreement with locals in regards to the lethality of wild mushrooms, as he displayed his recently collected mushrooms at a village open day in Fuentes de Leon.
He argued that it was permissible to eat 20 grams of poisonous mushrooms without suffering fatal consequences, a claim disputed by fellow locals and posters on the walls.
Mr Hidalgo proceeded to take bites out of the fungi before displaying symptoms of alcohol inebriation.
The mushroom enthusiast only agreed to be taken by ambulance to hospital after he turned yellow and began to vomit, the publication reports.
