Details
The records are drawn from
G. H. Lincoff (1981) (Pres.),
The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms.
New York: Alfred A. Knopf.
(See pages 500--525 for the Agaricus and Lepiota Family.)
The Guide clearly states that there is no simple rule for determining
the edibility of a mushroom; no rule like leaflets three, let
it be for Poisonous Oak and Ivy.
Unused levels in the original data were dropped.
