Lines: 19 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. John
