 Last week we told to lay off the tomalley (yech!), well now the New York State Health Department is cautioning folks not to eat mushrooms they find out in the wild. This comes after a man in Westchester County died and two people in Rensselaer County were hospitalized after consuming the destroying angel mushrooms. According to DOH, the deadly fungi can cause "abdominal pain, cramping, vomiting, diarrhea, liver damage, and even death." The destroying angel -also known as the death angel- are commonly mistaken for safe, common wild mushrooms like the button mushroom and meadow mushroom. Short version: buy your mushrooms at the store.
