about
I share random things I find curious here (thoughts, news, pieces of knowledge etc.). I use to update, correct and expand old posts so if you find something interesting revisit it occasionally perhaps. You can learn more about me by the "About" link in the top menu. You may also fork the theme as I've changed its functionality a lot ut it still is under active construction as well as the site itself.

Amanita Phalloides mushrooms are deadly poisonous and eating even a humble piece (like ¼ of a cap or even less) of it will probably kill you (your liver, and there is no antidote known) yet, contrary to a popular belief, you are probably going to be Ok if you touch it and lick your fingers. Even if you lick the mushroom itself you probably aren’t going to need a liver transplant. But don’t try this at home (or in the woods), seriously, that’s a kind of a fact one should better avoid checking.

But this doesn’t apply to mold found on the kinds of cheese meant to contain it.
