you DO NOT want to touch it -
Thanks for the info looks damn familiar to me so I know I've seen it thought it was pretty luckily I never tested I very seldom would touch something if I don't know what it is, just because of that. Thanks for sharing

Wow, they do look similar and I never knew this!
Interesting--good to know.
I can see me walking through it nonchalantly, never suspecting!
Learned in Pharmacy School at Idaho State 50 years ago that every year there are people that poison themselves from mistaken identification at nearby Yellowstone National Park. Eual Gibbons used to say as he ate his way across America years ago that most plants that are found naturally have a counterfeit that is poisonous. And this especially applies to mushrooms.
Good information that I hadn't known. Thanks.
Thanks, now we all know what it looks like and we can avoid it. Its kind of pretty through.
Hey, this is useful, and I appreciate it! I know I've seen some of these baddies in the carrot family (hemlock, giant hogweed, and wild parsnip. All bad news but they look pretty!)
