“Shitting out your liver” toxic tho.
Hopefully not based on those AI generated mushroom identification books
Many common mushrooms look the same. If you are not an expert you may miss a small difference and so misidentify what you are looking at.
I still wouldn’t trust wild mushrooms though.
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)
Good odds, right?
I understand that you jest, but risk is not only about odds. When you calculate risk you also want to consider the severity of failure not only likelihood. If you risk shitting out your liver you want better odds than if you just risk feeling a bit I’ll for a bit.
