Question 1

are buffets safe to eat from?

Accepted Answer

Public Health: I am not sure a doctor can speak to all restaurants and other businesses serving food.  I think you question may be better addressed by the public health officials in charge of the businesses you are most concerned about.

Suggeation: If not absolutely, clearly, 100% sure that a mushroom is safe to eat, then do not eat it. Some mushrooms can kill you. Not an authoritative or definitive guide. Avoid parasol-shaped,  that look like wide-open umbrellas with white rings around the stem and white, milky gills. Brightly colored and spotted parasols, may be Amanitas, full of one of nature's deadliest poisons. Avoid cream-colored caps
