I used to live in Minnesota. Some years ago, we have a great number of Hmong immigrants from Viet Nam. Sadly, many of Minnesota's mushrooms looked very much like mushrooms they were accustomed to harvesting back home.

In some cases, entire families died of acute liver failure. It just isn't worth the risk unless you fully understand FL mushrooms.
