The night sky and outdoor myths, sentence 18

You cannot tell a safe mushroom by how it looks or smells; deadly mushrooms can look, smell and taste nice, so never eat wild ones.

Who acts: You, mushroom, deadly mushrooms · What happens: not tell, look, smell, taste, not eat · To what, where: safe mushroom, wild ones · Speech: someone speaks here
