Question 4

Accepted Answer

Possibly poisonous: Leucocoprinus birnbaumii is considered "possibly poisonous" or "poisonous" by various experts. The most likely symptom is stomach pain/cramping and nausea/vomiting but 2 bites are unlikely to cause serious problems. One should never eat wild mushrooms unless they are willing to bet their life that they are safe.  I advise you take the homeopathic remedy nux vomica and call poison control as well.
