Anybody else hear about this?  Makes me kinda worried to be driving around there now especially if I'm wearing some army gear for hiking.

Cheeky... Any more talk like that and I'll be slipping one of these into your Pot Noodle when your not looking  :D



On a serious note this is a good mushroom to learn how to identify.  Possibly one of the worst you can mistakenly eat.  :-X
