It should go without saying, but PLEASE!!!!!, if you're an inexperienced
mushroom hunter, TAKE SOMEONE WHO HAS THE EXPERIENCE ALONG WITH YOU the
first several times you go mushrooming.

There are many good field guides to fungi available, but no book is a
substitute for the trained eyes of someone who has stalked the wild
mushroom for a number of years.

Wild fungi are delicious, and some are unmistakable (the heavenly puffball,
for instance (slice, coat with egg and breadcrumbs, and fry to a golden
brown; YUM!)), but some of the poisonous varieties have the nasty habit
of looking like an edible species.

So enjoy your mushrooming.  It's loads of fun.  But be careful and use
common sense.
