Have you ever done picking up mushrooms in woods? Do you like it? Do you recognize them? I mean the uneatable ones from eatable ones? ;) I like picking up mushrooms, I do it every autumn and summer. I like them fried and pickled. How about you?

I would never dare to. I would always be afraid that I picked a toxic one. I've only tried if once, but that was with someone who knew what he was doing, and even then I wasn't too happy eating them.

:) yes, you are right you just cannot go into wood and pick up every mushroom you see, but in our country our grandparents were doing it, our parents were doing it and we were doing it with our parents and grandparents when young (that very common here) that's why we know which are the good ones. However, there are mushrooms that I don't recognize neither but these ones I just don't gather, I take the ones I know!!!
