Which mushrooms should you not touch?

Unless you have some sort of allergy or very sensitive skin, touching mushrooms is fine. The only mushroom that is questionable to touch is Podostroma cornu-damae, which is found in Asia and even that might just be a rumor that touching it is not safe. Mushrooms need to be eaten to be toxic.
