Using Agaricus to include Amanitas. And several of my current books still do that.

You are correct. Taste is actually a common part of identification. You have to digest it to get hurt. But I personally just don't mess with ID'ing agaricus. There are a few choice primo ones, a couple that will kill you, and a whole bunch that are just bleh, and might make you violently vomit. And they are just so close in appearance, I leave them be.

Yeah, agaricus in general. Just too many lookalikes and most are not pleasant. I don't mess with those either.

I can smell your fabric softener, no matter how long ago you used it. Artificial perfumes of any kind just murder my sinuses. It suuuucks.

I also can hear electronics, even just the lights, if that's all that's on. Maddening, because I can almost never find real silence. It's why I love camping.
