I buy it by the 4 cf. bag. I will have to check and see what warning there is. I did do a bit of (quick) research, and I see that this fungus occurs in soil, hay, barbed wire, pine needles, and thorns (particular rose thorns). In other words, it is just about everywhere. The occurrence rate is 1-2 per million people. Therefore one is much more likely to be injured when crossing the road or killed by lightening than by this fungus. It appears this is just part of the liability craze thrust upon us by our lawyer friends.
