These mushrooms, despite the title, are not just labelled as good and bad, we also have an "Indigeste", a "Comestible", some "Tres Dangereux", a few "Veneneux" which means poisonous and even a "Tres Veneneux". And that is pretty much why we chose this one first, as not all mushrooms are edible, and more than that, the deadly and the tasty often look very much the same.
There seems that there would be few tackling this as a meal, for the name acts as a warning. It translates to goat-scented cortinaria, cortinarius being the parent category of fungi. In fact several mushroom hunting guides go further, calling it stinking, and one even reads "Odour : strong, frightening smell of goat". It is found between August and November on acid soil, most frequently beneath conifers and pines.
This is rather a confusing set, for some of the cards are upright, or vertical, like ours, and others are not only horizontal but, for the most part, have two different mushrooms on the front and include a note of where they grow. For a while i was thought that there were two sets, one vertical and one horizontal, but the backs are identical on both sorts and the title, at the top of the reverse, is the same on every card.
Here is a list, but I have added numbers, as the cards are not. However numbering them gives a very odd total of eighty-one cards, surely not a good round number to end at. And more than that, for not all the mushroom species are yet included.
