Wearing a toga was an actual bitch.
Like white tie but 10x more complex. There were slaves who's sole purpose was putting on their master's toga.
Putting on a toga was difficult, not to say burdensome activity. The strip of fabric was folded lengthwise, one end was thrown over the left shoulder, a toga was placed over the back, the other end was passed under the right shoulder and thrown over the left shoulder from the front. To facilitate this extremely careful activity, richer citizens had a special slave for this purpose, called vestiplicus.

Also... Zeus is Greek, the Roman equivalent would be Jupiter.
So they decided to lie about not foraging for mushrooms?
Doesn't really make sense to me.
Honestly, a professor of mycology not being able yo to forage mushrooms? Just where do these people live that there's no solid edible shrooms which have no fatal similar looking ones, like chanterelles or winter chanterelles?
Idk, maybe in the US there's similar species in areas with them so it's kind of a gamble, but we don't, so foraging is a-okay.
As long as you know how and what to forage for in the specific area you are, you should know whether you can or can't forage edible shrooms easily.
I wouldn't be certain I've found penny buns although I know how to ID them, roughly, but because of the phenotypical variation and not remembering all the strains which are similar, I wouldn't confidently forage those. I don't recall there being anything too poisonous that's close to it, but still.
