      There are 423 spp. If mushroom where I live, and only like 20 are edible. The rest will wreck your day or end you.

      I’m not a gambling man.

      Yeah, you got a point there. I’m certainly no mushroom expert either, but one thing in particular I noticed about the photo is that the stem part isn’t smooth, which is different than the smooth stem of a white button mushroom. I prefer to err on the side of caution, like if I see a mushroom out in the woods, I’m just gonna assume it’s not safe to eat.
