The perils of mushroom hunting are no joke! Unfortunately what was not disclosed in this news article was what I think might be arguably the most important detail: Did the mushrooms make it out okay?

We can joke, however because the guy's okay, right?

Not so funny is that sometimes these stories don't have a happy ending. Take last August for example when 18 mushroom hunters were killed over a two week period in the mountains of Northern Italy.

How many other foods can you name worth risking your life for?

Tip - Basic rule of thumb when going out into unfamiliar terrain, tell someone where you're going and when they can expect you to return.
