Dataset Information

Additional Information
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.
