“Everyone should listen to the episode about dying by mushroom poisoning. Brutal but so valuable!
I attended a week long mycology seminar as a young college student. Not a biology student and this was a graduate seminar, so it went TOTALLY over my head. (Still had a great time.)
But the ONE thing I did learn? Don’t hunt for wild mushrooms! All of the mycologists said the same thing, “NO way would I pick wild mushrooms for consumption. Too many look-alikes & unidentified species out there!” MAYBE one exception: Morels, because they’re unique & distinctive. But that’s it! Anyone who says otherwise is actually ignorant of the dangers.
When the experts won’t do it, probably not a good idea for the layman! Not worth losing your liver and/or life over an amateur mistake!”
