Please take the time to research proper
identification methods before consum-
ing ANY wild mushroom. Purchase field
guides on mushroom hunting, wild
mushrooms and fungus. These guides
will help you familiarize yourself with
common wild mushrooms in the On-
tario area, along with descriptions, con-
ditions and images for particular
mushrooms. David Spahr's "Edible and
Medicinal Mushrooms of New England
and Eastern Canada" is particularly use-
ful for this area, as is Dr. Orson Miller Jr.
and Hope Miller's "North American
Mushroom: A Field Guide to Edible and
Inedible Fungi."
