Yes. Still do when I can. However, the big white ones that spring up in people's lawns have 2 different sorts - one is edible & delicious. The other sort looks identical, but if you lightly score the white top with a fingernail and the mark turns yellow, they may give you a tummyache but won't kill you. The yellow staining ones have a mild toxin that really upsets some people's stomachs, but doesn't affect others. I know a few spots that are reliable for goldtops too, but don't always get there before the locals.
