Gilled Mushrooms with Black, Purple-Black or Brown-Black Spores
Although most fungi are harmless, a small number are extremely toxic, and should be handled with caution. Never eat a fungus unless you are completely certain of its identity, and the species is known to be edible. If in doubt, discard it.
