In England, people do not generally die from eating wild foods, more likely to be run over by cars on the way to the supermarket.
We have a handful of deadly fungi (you are going to die but not quite yet, or you will need a new kidney and other bits). A few plant roots, but nobody gets that hungry.

I eat mushrooms that grow on my lawn and I'm still alive!
Wouldn't care to live in Midsomer though. For some reason people who live there are always getting bumped off!

Here in the USA people are dieing right now from spinach. But they tend to die from mishandling of food products. Whenever there is a lot of rain there are those who feel they know what mushrooms are edible. They inevitably die or wish the had from consuming these fungi. It doesn't matter how many times the news people warn about the dangers of eating them. The ones who eat the mushrooms end up very ill.

I live in the North West of England, and the only way people die around here are getting stabbed, shot, run over, beaten to death, old age, stress and suicide. But it doesn't happen THAT often. Most of it is drunkenness!

Around here, people sometimes die because they prepare their own fugu (puffer fish) and don't remove all the poisonous bits..! That's their own fault really ... sad, but if they used their BRAINS it wouldn't happen so often...
Occasionally someone eats the 'wrong' sort of 'mushroom' ... and of course they normally die...
