Did you know... that the toxic nature of the fools webcap (pictured) was discovered only after 102 people in Bydgoszcz were poisoned in 1952?

Wrote a first draft and added some pictures I took last week. I will try to take some nicer pictures this weekend, especially of younger specimens and pictures of color and gill attachment by cutting the mushroom in half.

This page also needs to be spellchecked and needs to be crosslinked with many other articles. I will try to style the page and add some more history about the mushroom (like when/who isolated the toxin) and maybe some statistics about poisoning.
