Funnel Web Spider – Funnel Mushroom

I let this fellow go outside. Not sure if their bites can be a bit nasty. These are nothing like the funnel web spiders in Australia, which are deadly, like everything else in Australia!

Meanwhile, last year, someone told me that funnel mushrooms mean certain death if you eat them. You have about twenty minutes. Now I find out that they are edible. Cook them, of course.

We owe such knowledge to those who have gone before us, having been bitten and having eaten such things. It’s good to take note of what has happened in the past!
