And that, my fungi fiends, is all for this week. Praying for rain cos at the moment the land’s too dry to encourage many fungi
I enjoyed looking at those fungi. They look awesome, but I don’t think they’re safe to eat…

Very few are. Even if they’re not lethal, they’ll likely upset the intestines. And if not that, then they’ll taste disgusting. Or they’ll be tougher than toasted wood. Or be full of insects! So few are edible

That’s so gross! That’s why we have to be very careful about that. We have to choose ones that are safe to eat.
