Review # 1 was written on 2018-12-29 00:00:00 Kim Costantini An interesting read about poisonous trees, shrubs, flowers, mushrooms and fungus. I enjoyed reading about how people historically used these plants for medicine, recreational use or something else. Most of these plants can be found in Europe which makes it fun to try and recognize them when you're going out for a walk. The book has nice drawings or photos which makes it easier to remember and compare the plants.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-13 00:00:00 Peter Jones This was very interesting with a lot of in-depth information. There was a lot of focus on the medicinal uses of plants though, which surprised me to a certain extent, as it seemed to focus on this rather than the poison side.
