All bamboo shoots safe to eat after cooking?

I know most of you want to grow your bamboo tall and not eat it, but I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this: Are there any kinds of green running bamboo that are NOT safe to eat after being cooked? I have no idea what kind of bamboo is in my yard -- all I know is that it's a very invasive kind that was here when I moved in. Now there are some shoots out there that look rather tasty. :) I know the shoots of some kinds of bamboo can contain cyanide, but I also read that it breaks down during cooking. Anyone know more about this? Or are those who have tried it no longer around to post ...
