    Looking over the wikipedia page on this mushroom and all the similar, very edible ones...Yeah I'm never foraging mushrooms.

      chanterelles are pretty safe to forage if they grow near you.

      they are very distinct looking.

      And this is why I grow my own. I'm very fond of Albino Texas PE6. Easy to grow, consistent, and you can clone and agar spawn over and over again. Such an aggressive little strain. And looks very distinct. Unmistakable.

          Those don't have very good reputations among growers. Bunch of crap you don't need, and the stuff you do need is garbage quality.

            Nah, but they're easy for laymen. If you've got links to affordable kits for beginners pls share.

            Edit: How could I forget. One of my favourite physical food stands at a public market I used to go to sells kits online. They're good people.

      Mushroom foraging can be safe, but the rules are:

      • Always learn from a local guide first. It's not transferable to other regions. Which makes books a bad way to do it, and the internet a horrible way.

      • You don't rule out dangerous mushrooms, you identify a specific edible mushroom.

      • Never trust a little white mushroom.
