I believe there is a fungus that is poisonous that can grow on sedges, but I have no details on what it is or how to spot it.

Prof. Gordon who helps out Ray Mears told us that all sedges are safe to eat. He also said the fungus Ergot, which affects many grasses and cereals, does not infect Sedges. Is this what you're thinking of? It is evident as a blackened and enlarged 'Seed'.
