I have 5 different books on mushrooms, with pictures, and there are still many times I'm not sure if some of the ones I find are edible or not. My grandmother was excellent at knowing and finding them. This kind of knowledge is always better when passed down. I have an older military survival handbook that describes how to test if mushrooms, or other plants are safe to eat. Basically it states to take a small dose and way 12 hours, then a bigger one, wait 12 hours, and so forth. If you have not been sick or died, you're good to eat it :D

It’s scary trying new mushrooms! Elders knowledge and experience is always the best ❤️

Lol! I want to try that method with that Peach Agaric 😜 😵‍💫

There are very few wild mushrooms I’ve tried. Maybe during a visit to the mountain I’ll be a littoral adventuresome.
