Dear Readers: I have heard from scores of readers extremely concerned about my response to “Avoiding Amanita,” the question written by a man who spends a few days each month with a group of buddies in a cabin in the woods.
Dear Readers: I have heard from scores of readers extremely concerned about my response to “Avoiding Amanita,” the questionTo recap: “Avoiding” described himself as someone schooled in biology with expertise regarding the danger of eating foraged mushrooms.His concern had to do with the fact that his friends had found mushrooms in the woods and had included these mushrooms in a spaghetti sauce without informing him.
The man who wrote to me – a veteran teacher of environmental science– emphasized in his query how dangerous it is to eat foraged mushrooms. To repeat: DO NOT EVER INGEST FORAGED MUSHROOMS, ON THEIR OWN OR COOKED INTO FOOD. Even a small amount can be extremely dangerous.In my opinion, where I really missed the mark in my response was where I suggested ways that Avoiding Amanita might somehow get beyond this incident, which was caused by disrespectful and irresponsible “friends.”I thank everyone for their emphatic concern.
There’s so much more to say that would be helpful for donor conceived people and the parents of donor conceived people who might or might not have shared this information with their children.Dear Channing: Thank you. I have heard from many people responding to this letter, where “Open Minded Daughter,” an adult, had recently learned through DNA testing that she was conceived through donor sperm.
