When I moved to Oslo, my PhD adviser told me that if I was interested in foraging mushrooms I should take someone with me. He said since I lived in Japan he was concerned because there has been multiple cases of Japanese and Chinese foraging in Norway and becoming very ill because some of the mushrooms that are safe to eat in those regions look identical to poisonous mushrooms in Scandinavia.
Yes, that's right, I have encountered it before.
Are you serious?
