I remember reading of a mushroom expert who wound up needing a new liver because he misidentified some mushrooms. If it can happen to the experts it can happen to me, so I generally steer clear of wild mushrooms. However, if you are going to eat wild mushrooms, it's better to trust the experts than the non-experts, who get poisoned much more frequently.
