Also I got a shock. We actually found a couple Amanitas. I've always believed that there are none in Alberta or Saskatchewan To dry or something.
AGAIN PLEASE get your species right..amanitas..Panthers, Destroying angels and Fly agarics are very common and can be deadly. all are found in ALBERTA, in fact all over North America. I dont know where you hear that there are "no deadly muchrooms in alberta" but please check the species and NOT THE SLANG NAME. slang names such as red caps, clubfoots mean nothing.

INCOYBES, Cortinarius, some Lactarius can cause kidney failure and cancer, so can many other mushrooms.

these are called different names all over and mean different things depending on where you are from.

I love to eat wild mushrooms but I always make certain several times over what I am eating...check with experienced people.

THIS I have found and was positively identified in EDMONTON.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroying_angel


please be careful out there
