Although there are stated to be 20 kinds of edible mushrooms in Southland, there are some which are distinctly poisonous, as an Invercargill family learnt td its cost the other morning (says the Southland Times). Two members of the family who partook of a large breakfast of mushrooms had to be conveyed home later in a semi-prostrate condition. Though they have largely recovered from the effects of the poisoning, they will not eat mushrooms for some time again.
