O čem je toďten plk: quick tips for the impatient mushroom hunter
from the "poisonous mushrooms" section of that article i linked to:

There is no quick and easy test that will separate edible from poisonous mushrooms-including peeling the cap, testing with a silver spoon, checking for insect damage or any other folk method. To avoid mushroom poisoning, you should follow these five rules:

1. Identify each and every mushroom you collect, and only eat those whose identification you are sure of. When in doubt, throw it out.

2. Strictly avoid: any mushroom that looks like an amanita (parasol-shaped mushrooms with white gills); all little brown mushrooms; all false morels.

3. Some people are allergic to even the safest mushrooms. The first time you try a new wild mushroom, it is important that you eat only a small amount and wait 24 hours before eating more.

4. As with other foods, rotting mushrooms can make you ill. Eat only firm, fresh, undecayed mushrooms.

5. Most wild mushrooms should not be eaten raw or in large quantities, since they are difficult to digest.

and be careful: puffballs are harmless, but some other mushrooms, like the death cap mushroom, can resemble a puffball in their early stages. from another site:

Landcare Research mycologist (mushroom expert) Peter Johnston said when the death cap was young it was easily confused with a puffball, which some people ate.

"Very difficult to tell them apart... you have got to know what you are eating," he said.

Toxins in death caps stop human cell division, meaning organs which form new cells, such as the liver, stop working, Dr Johnston said.

here's an interesting article on mushrooms including which ones are edible and which are poisonous. i don't think it's exactly comprehensive, but it should tell people some stuff.

you get to the three sections of the article using the links in the brown bar at the top of the article. it took me a while to figure that out.

i may not eat much fresh ginger (though i do get a couple of sticks of it on top of my Indian dishes, and i do eat that), but one thing i've been doing a lot lately is gobbling up the lemon wedges that i'm served with fish and seafood and tea and stuff. i know fresh lemon is good for me. i've developed a taste for pure unsweetened sour cherry juice too, which i think is also very good for me. yum!

as for bok choy, there's bok choy and there's baby bok choy (as i'm learning from this gourmetsleuth.com site i've just discovered)...

...but much more than that *i* can't tell You...

anybody know anything about transplanting bamboo from indoors to out? we have one of those pretty china pots from the grocery store with three stalks of bamboo in it and i've been thinking about putting them in the ground and letting them spread out (as i know bamboo does under the right conditions) and form a natural privacy thingy between our property and the neighbors'...but i don't know what kind of soil conditions or anything bamboo likes. i could just look online, i know, but i figured i'd start here in case anybody has any first-hand experience.

nobleheart: i saw a moth fluttering madly against the trunk of a tree last night in my headlights, and i knew what S/he was thinking: "damn! it's COLD! i can't fly! this isn't supposed to be happening! helllllllp!!!"

or something much like that, i'm sure.

i think it's the temperature see-saw we've been on all winter, at least around the eastern seaboard here (can you say, "global warming"? sure. i knew you could), and that a few warm days we've had recently have fooled some bugs and buds into coming out way too early.

Ms. ScarletRose: if You mean the first day of spring, and if the Vernal Equinox is the first day of spring, which i believe it is, that's March 20 this year.
