Dear Readers: I have heard from scores of readers extremely concerned about my response to “Avoiding Amanita,” a man who spends a few days each month with a group of buddies in a cabin in the woods.
To recap: “Avoiding” described himself as someone schooled in biology with expertise regarding the danger of eating foraged mushrooms.
His concern had to do with the fact that his friends had found mushrooms in the woods and had included these mushrooms in a spaghetti sauce without informing him.
