TIL ... there is no mushroom forum? Who’d have thought?

I was kidding ... I am not adventurous enough to eat that.

Years ago I read that there are 2400 kinds of mushrooms and only 6 are edible. So, no worth the risk!

LOL!! Those figures are off by a wide margin!! There are at least 10,000 known species native to north America but many suggest that there may be equally as many that are unknown or yet to be discovered and identified.

As to edibility, as much as 25% are considered to be edible (as in not poisonous or toxic) but perhaps as little as 4% are actually worth eating.

So how come there’s no forum? That surprised me. Thought there was one for everyone. Go figure.

Mushrooms would be lumped in on the "Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams" forum.
