Nice! I keep accidentally stepping on the fungi in my back yard. I've only had the nerve to eat one of the mushrooms found out there.

Every edible mushroom I've found so far has been riddled with bugs. Don't eat the amanitas, not a good idea. :P

Unless you are 100% sure that is what it is and you want to trip balls.

Even then, there are much less dangerous ways to trip.

There’s a whole subreddit for people that want to trip on amanitas, but I think it’s the amanita muscaria mushrooms they are talking about. Fairly sure this is a flavaconia. Don’t quote me on that though. I’m not interested in tripping on anything, but maybe someday I’ll find some oysters or a cotw that will go in my dinner. Yum.

Yeah, I didn't phrase that very well. I've only had the nerve to eat one mushroom that I found, and that was after some fairly thorough research. As to bugs... eating them scares me a whole lot less than the mushroom! :)

Oh for sure. I found some oysters though and within a day they went from solid mushroom to mushroom dust because of the bugs. Absolutely riddled with them. The dryad’s saddle I found were okay, but just a little old.

Touching mushrooms, even toxic ones, is perfectly safe. The danger is in eating them.
