[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Russula emetica, commonly known as The Sickener, is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Russula, two of many species with a predominantly red-coloured cap and white gills and stalk. It gets its common name from its inedibility, as it causes vomiting and diarrhea when consumed. It has an extremely peppery taste, which is said partly to disappear on cooking, along with its toxicity, though eating it is not recommended. Mixing one emetica with otherwise edible red Russula will ruin the whole meal, and it is a common reason some do not pick any Russula-species.

Salut Jozsef !
Ce coincidenta ca trei romani sa posteze unul dupa altul !
Dupa pasarele constat ca ai trecut la ciuperci.
Bune si astea, dar la ciulama .
O seara faina,
Adrian
