Liability and Release Terms

Each individual over age 18 must sign a separate liability release form
I realize that when consuming wild mushrooms, as well as while foraging for wild mushrooms, or while harvesting and collecting wild mushrooms, I
may suffer physical injury.

I expressly acknowledge that I know that the identification of edible wild mushrooms is an activity that always carries with it the risk that a poisonous
mushroom may be misidentified as an edible wild mushroom. I further expressly acknowledge that I know that consuming a wild mushroom that has
been incorrectly identified as edible, when it is in fact poisonous, carries with it the risk of illness and that such illness may range from mild indigestion
to death. I further expressly acknowledge that I know that even in those cases where death does not result from eating a wild mushroom that has been
incorrectly identified as edible the adverse effects of consuming a poisonous mushroom can include permanent injury or permanent physical
impairment.

Moreover, I further expressly acknowledge that I know that when eaten even an edible wild mushroom may cause the person who has consumed the
mushroom to suffer an allergic reaction and that such a reaction may range from mild indigestion to death. I further expressly acknowledge that I know
that even in those cases where death does not result from an allergic reaction to eating a wild mushroom the adverse effects of consuming a wild
mushroom can be permanent or can result in permanent physical impairment.

I expressly acknowledge that I know that while foraging for wild mushrooms or harvesting and collecting wild mushrooms I may suffer physical injury
related to these activities, including the consequences of exposure to poisonous plants and contracting insect or animal borne diseases. I expressly
acknowledge that I know that such injuries can be permanent or can result in permanent physical impairment.

Knowing the risks, I agree to assume the risks associated with consuming wild mushrooms, as well as the risks associated with foraging for
wild mushrooms and with harvesting or collecting wild mushrooms.

I expressly agree to release and hold harmless the Mushroom Club of Georgia, and any officer or member thereof, from any and all legal responsibility
for injuries, including death, incurred by me either during, or as a result of, any mushroom walk, foray, field trip, excursion or meeting that is sponsored
or undertaken by the Mushroom Club of Georgia.

I expressly agree to release and hold harmless the Mushroom Club of Georgia, and any officer or member thereof, from any and all legal responsibility
for injuries, including death, incurred by me as a result of any mushroom identification, mushroom ingestion or other mushroom consumption that is
sponsored or undertaken by the Mushroom Club of Georgia.

I expressly assume the legal responsibility for injuries, including death, incurred by minor children under my care, either during, or as a result of, any
mushroom walk, foray, field trip, excursion or meeting that is sponsored or undertaken by the Mushroom Club of Georgia.

I expressly assume the legal responsibility for injuries, including death, incurred by minor children under my care, either during or as a result of any
mushroom identification, mushroom ingestion or other mushroom consumption that is sponsored or undertaken by the Mushroom Club of Georgia.

Should any suit or claim be asserted against the Mushroom Club of Georgia, or any officer or member thereof, that a Court concludes is covered by
this Release of Liability and Express Assumption of Risk I further agree to pay the Mushroom Club of Georgia, or any officer or member who was a
party to such suit or claim, the costs of defending such suit or claim, including attorneys’ fees.

The laws of Georgia are to govern the interpretation and validity of the terms and provisions of this Release of Liability and Express Assumption of
Risk.
