| Mushroom {cba} | R Documentation |
A data set with descriptions of hypothetical samples corresponding to 23 species of gilled mushrooms in the Agaricus and Lepiota Family, classified according to their edibility as (definitely) ‘edible’ or ‘poisonous’ (definitely poisonous, or of unknown edibility and not recommended).

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.
Unused levels in the original data were dropped.
