As with all plants and fungi, please do not ingest anything you are unfamiliar with.
- Death cap mushrooms are a high health risk in urban environments, as they are extremely poisonous and closely resemble some edible mushrooms from Asia.
- Eating them may lead to liver and kidney damage, or death.
- Never eat anything you cannot positively identify as an edible species.
- Ensure children and pets are kept at a distance.
