It’s mushroom hunting season!
Edible mushrooms include thousands of types of mushrooms that are harvested, and others that are not easily cultivated, such as the truffle and the matsutake, which is prized. Some edible mushrooms have an extremely bad taste, such as the Bitter bolete mushroom.
Before assuming that any wild mushroom is edible, check safety rules and be sure of its identification. There is no “test” for edibility other than identifying the species. Even mushrooms that are edible for most people can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
