“Of the known fungi species, of which there are tens of thousands, only about 3% are known to be poisonous. Within that, there are varying degrees of likely harm. Some will upset your tummy; others will liquify your liver.”
― Liv Sisson, Fungi of Aotearoa: A Curious Forager's Field Guide

“Hunter-gathers, by nature, store information for use, understanding that there may be a time when information is scarce.”
― Brian C. O'Connor, Jud H. Copeland, Jodi L. Kearns
