This data set includes descriptions of hypothetical samples
corresponding to 23 species of gilled mushrooms in the Agaricus and
Lepiota Family (pp. 500-525). Each species is identified as
definitely edible, definitely poisonous, or of unknown edibility and
not recommended. This latter class was combined with the poisonous
one. The Guide clearly states that there is no simple rule for
determining the edibility of a mushroom; no rule like ``leaflets
three, let it be'' for Poisonous Oak and Ivy.
