This is definitely propaganda comment: eating mushrooms in Russia is never considered as risky.

Is it a sarcasm? We have tens of people dying from mushroom poisoning each year. Usually with stories like "grandma fried some mushrooms, whole family died, dad in coma".

No. I don't say about real statistic date. I say only about people's *perception* about risk.

Ah. Here in Russia there are many things that are not considered risky:

swimming in the ice hole in frozen river

eating like everything from nearby forest

driving without seatbelts

not going to doctor when it hurts

While one most likely will go away with it, these things still can be deadly.

You should just ask for refund. I've the similar story, Uber suggested credit. But immediately issued refund once I declined credit and asked to refund money back to my credit card.

Most likely because of Windows Server 2008: they are almost the same.
