Christy,
We had a large patch of wild Versicolors growing in the middle of
our cow pasture. The Versicolor fans were cropped along with
everything else by our cows with no ill effects. Ripe seeds of I.
Versicolor I that spilled from drying pods in our greenhouse were
eaten by mice with no apparent ill effect.
