Just learn to recognize it...which is pretty easy because of it's size...it
is a notifiable plant here in the UK but never thought of it as any more of
a problem than loads of other poisonous plants and fungi I see near
here...learn to live with nature I say....and teach your kids to do the
same, just as I was as a child.
