    Honestly I'm glad things didnt turn out even worse for op's family. Poisonous mushrooms aren't just a gastrointestinal distress danger, those are a 'permanently destroying vital organs' danger, including species that look very similar to edible species that people seek out to eat. You do not ever, ever, want to fuck around and find out with mushrooms

      like literally melt your kidneys, liver, brain or all 3, which is why I don't forage for mushrooms lol

        geordi-no picking wild mushrooms

        geordi-yes innoculating wild mushrooms

        Also some species are dead easy to recognize, but I do feel a lot more comfortable having first grown them at home

            I have tried cultivating p cubensis outside and had no success. I think it was my innoculum that wasn't sterile. It's a really finicky species, I think starting your own culture from agar is the only foolproof method, or try for the uncle Ben tek and get lucky with a clean needle. But it's definitely not easy. Shiitake is easy.

    How does this person even think to ask such stupid questions? No, don't send the fucking book back, and compensation? Dawg you're looking at literally millions of dollars, go find the most rabid lawyer available and have him beat money out of Amazon (it was def Amazon btw)

      Is the seller supposed to be liable for fact checking every non fiction book they sell? Seems like it would be the author and publisher to be sued. The retailer can't be expected to know the accuracy of all the books they sell.

          No. If wal mart's pharmacy sold pills that made people sick, it would not be the pharmacies fault at all. They aren't liable to test the pills to make sure they are what the manufacturer claims they are.

          That's actually happened several times over the years and a pharmacy has never been found liable. It always falls back to the manufacturer. What exactly do you think a pharmacy does? Seems you don't know a lot.

              I literally just told you that it has worked out in court. Do you think wal mart, target, and cvs got in trouble last year when a company in India sold them bacteria tainted eye drops? Of course not. That would be as dumb as you are dense. A retailer is not responsible for shady shit that other companies do.

        Amazon is probably acting as both publisher and retailer for this tier of slop book

        the best way to prepare pufferfish is by making it yourself and adding the salt to your fish sauce before you add the salt and the lemon and lemon to the sauce and then adding the lemon to it and the salt in the sauce and adding it to the sauce to make it more tender and are the best way to do that.

    This seems like the author/publisher should be liable for criminal negligence. Hope the reddit OP didn't send that book back.

      I, for one, will never be stupid enough to pay for some skeezy digital copy of a book like this when I can just pirate the real deal (aka: not this cheap ai knockoff shrooms indentification book). Convincing IP-brained normies, or just people with adeathly fear of understanding how to pirate is the main issue

    In the 90s, AI was just a decade away.
    In the 00s, AI was just a decade away.
    In the 10s, AI was just a decade away.
    In the 20s, we wish AI was just a decade away.

      Eventually the brand will kill enough people that the market will stop rewarding bad business practices

    I was certain something like this would happen with AI, I'm glad they're ok, but it's still just a matter of time until there's actual deaths from this shit

    calling it:

    "Lawyer reads out the ai drivel that contributed to somebody's death in front of incredulous jurors" will be a comedy trope until 2032, when a gritty Batman reboot has its Harvey Dent do a dramatic one, sobbing with flashbacks to, I don't know, something that still provokes a response in 2032, there has to be an emotional vein around here somewhere. Teachers will complain that many of their students have made sob-reading ai drivel their whole personality.
