DISCLAIMER

The point of our blog is not to suggest that all of these species are reliably safe to pick in the wild and eat. This blog is more a collection of taxonomical information about species of interest - some of which do have a traditional heritage of being described as edible species but some that are just of interest generally - rather than the promoting or advocating of the consumption of wild mushrooms. IT IS UP TO YOU AND YOU ONLY TO GET THE PROPER IDENTIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION OF EDIBILITY.
