Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved mushrooms. Do you know where I should start if I wanted to pick my own mushrooms?
You will want to make sure you do not pick any poisonous ones! Mushrooms, or toadstools are fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting fungus.
Then why are the ones we typically eat on pizza and salads okay to eat? Is there a way to identify poisonous ones?
Identifying mushrooms requires a basic understanding of macroscopic structures. There are books that can show you the safe ones to eat.
