Thing is I never like mushrooms. But, I would eat them if I was hungry enough.
My Father (that lived through the Depression) told me I would eat just about anything if I was hungry enough.
Of course I was a teenager (err..Mean-Ager) and knew everything back then.
I would not accept his words then but, I fully understand them and accept them now...

Funny how Fathers (And Mothers) become so much smarter while we get older....
Take some pictures out of the good safe examples and just pick those ones. I remember being told (a very long time ago now lol) that fungus growing on wood is usually safer than the ground varieties...not sure if that's a fact or not ofc.
I'm surprised no-ones mentioned truffles actually, if you can get them they're a great way to make a fair bit of money nevermind the food value
