The Australian Mistletoe Berry. Is It Toxic?

Since making the post on the Mistletoe berries as food, I have been told that they are toxic & NOT edible. Now I have eaten these in the past, but that may not prove anything, so I would appreciate it if anyone has further information on this plant.
Thank you.
Regards, Keith.

Bush Foods For Historical Trekking. The Mistletoe.

Normally this plant is found high up in trees, but occasionally it can be found down at lower levels where the berries can be harvested, so worth keeping an eye open for.
