>>1468166If you are in Europe just pick three kinds:
>Has a sponge on the bottomThere are a bunch of mushrooms that have this and the only ones that aren't edible taste like utter garbage and aren't deadly, so just nible on each one you find and you'll be good. Also press them and if they turn blue--->edible, but !!needs!! to be cooked, don't nibble
>Is orange, tiny and grows in massive groupsNothing can go wrong with those and I haven't seen any that you could mix them up with
>Has little needles on the bottom and its top looks like feathers That one can be fishy at times
Maybe I've just narrowly avoided a horrific death, but that's how my parents taught me and how we all do it in my area.Never heard of anyone, who's not a tourist and self declared expert, getting poisoned and no deaths as far as I'm aware. Of course I know a lot of the mushrooms by their names and know a bunch more, but that's the basic of Alp mushrooming I think. Go out in late summer or preferably autumn after it has rained for a day or two.
