Or heres a good youtube channel/ vid on it that goes into detial

Or if your interested in paleontology discoverys/theorys they also do monthy reviews about new papers that have came out! And i feel like raptor chatter explains it simple enough to me to understand even with no background in the field 😅

It might be diffrent depending on who you ask, ive heard that u can kinda tell by rubbing them around ur gums, super bitter/spicy its bad - i dont think id eat a bit of them, some types take a few days to show signs, like ik that for some people some coral mushrooms can upset their stomachs but it effects them 2-3 days later…

Personally i dont do either of these methoods, the easiest way is by looking up id guides online, they give descriptions as well as if theres any look alikes… all you gotta look up is “your region + forageable mushrooms” which should give you a good list of whats in your area or what to look for, i do agree with being 100% sure on an id before eating tho

As someone who forages there are plenty of safe , easy to identify, and way better tasting mushrooms that are in the wild; obviously do your research and make sure your alowed to forage on the lands etc

This talk puts people off of foraging when again is easy to get into, its free, and can be fun/productive activity when your outside ( again as well as supper yummy,store bought stuff cannot beat chicken/hen/lions mane at all)
