Mushrooms

Even if you think you've got a pretty good grasp on which ones are edible and which are not, keep in mind that there are more than a few poisonous mushrooms that closely resemble popular edibles. There are the prized morel mushrooms, which have an evil twin in toxic “false morels”; ditto with the tasty chanterelles, which look an awful lot like the poisonous jack-o'-lantern mushrooms.

The bright red berries might look inviting but you'll want to stay clear of them as they can cause nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and possibly death. The leaves, however, are another story. Indians from North and South America have used the leaves of some varieties of holly for medicinal purposes for centuries. Despite such widespread use in certain parts of the world, experts say it's still risky to ingest holly leaves, which can cause diarrhea, nausea and vomiting

So, what are some more things to avoid eating in a bout of hunger? If you ever were to get lost in the wilderness and there are a few things you're considering eating but you're just not sure if it's safe, you may want to think otherwise. Trust me, it is in your best interest.

Continue to memorize the list after the break and make sure you know what you can and cannot eat before bugging out. Take a look on the next slide.

    “NO one should NEVER eat”, because we’re Russian, and we love double negatives.

    Normally I have a problem or something to add, but not this time. A solid short list. Telling people about the things that will kill them is a good way to make things stick.
