Be careful wild mushrooms can kill if there the wrong type.

As a forager, you're absolutely right, but I have a feeling this person does their due diligence.

Yes, I certainly do. I started foraging for mushrooms last year. Before I harvested anything I just read a ton and took loads of pictures to try to identify what all was out there. I have a friend that knows quite a bit and if I'm ever not 100% sure about something I ask for help. I've collected and eaten five different types of mushroom this past year, all of which are fairly easy to identify and have either no poisonous lookalikes or very few that can be easily ruled out. I'm very aware that many mushrooms can make you quite ill and that some can kill you. I appreciate the warning though. It's always good to be too careful.
