Mushroom Edible and Not Poisonous?
Shashidhar, a curious onlooker was of the opinion that the variety was not wild and poisonous. Pointing out that the ants were moving about on the mushroom, he inferred that they were edible. The size too has shrunk from the actual 28 inches to 26 inches following incessant rains in the past two days.
