Time to dance the Pride of Erin.

To be fair it’s not like you have to actually straight up injest them to try. I’m sure ancient peoples had protocols.

Like first you touch and wait a couple hours. If nothing happens try rubbing on your skin and waiting a couple hours. If nothing happens rub it in your mouth and wait a couple hours. If nothing happens chew a tiny bit and spit it out and wait a couple hours etc.

It’s not foolproof obviously. But its a lot safer than seeing a new shroom and full on eating it.

I recommend the book "How to invent everything" by Ryan North. It's humor, an instruction manual for stranded time travelers who have to recreate civilization. It includes a section on testing food for edibility. https://www.howtoinventeverything.com/

I have no idea who that guy is... Why does he look so much like snowden to me 😅
