Barbara Lopes, 86, and Teresa Olesniewicz, 73, died needlessly in a nursing home where they lived. Their caretaker poisoned them in a mushroom mix up. The immigrant worker made the mistake of picking what she thought was an edible mushroom and then made a soup which she also ate. "Deathcaps" look similar to an edible wild mushroom popular in Asian countries. The worker and a few others went to the hospital after eating her soup. It is reported that she was unaware of the danger.
Get ready for some knowledge. Many mushroom varieties found in the wild are in fact deadly! Many people who get mushrooms for food do their homework and are extremely careful when picking them. As these videos show, they are knowledgeable about their product. Please don't poison yourself or others because you get an idea that you want to make some mushroom soup.
Here is a guide on mushrooms for your kitchen.
