My Foraging Era: Three Mushrooms That Are 'Probably' Fine

foragingwoodsmushroomsera

The algorithm put me in my foraging era. So I grabbed a wicker basket, a jacket that smells like a thrift store, and walked into the nearest woods with zero plan and infinite confidence.

Findings:

  1. A mushroom that looks like a tiny beach umbrella. Fungus tok says “probably not fatal.”
  2. A mushroom that looks like it’s wearing a hat. One (1) commenter said “that’s the death cap your grandkids will talk about.”
  3. A mushroom that I’m choosing to believe is a mushroom.

Naturally I asked the internet: “Are these edible?”

400 comments. Highlights:

“Yes, but only once.” “Sir, that is a rock.” “My family has been foraging for generations. Put them back.”

I put them back. I am now in my “running through the woods giggling with a stick” era. Much safer. 10/10 would not recommend to anyone, please like and subscribe type beat.
