@b4cks4w it's even better if you can find someone that knows mushrooms to forage with you. remember, all mushrooms are edible, once. you want the ones that are edible more than that.

@redenigma Agreed. I grew up foraging greens/nuts/fruit, but the doppleganger mushrooms make me skittish. Gonna try again.
@redenigma How to Forage for Mushrooms Without Dying book is useful, widely informative, and funny. Haven't died yet. Recommend.
