I have been collecting wild mushrooms for nearly twenty years. In England many people would not eat a wild mushroom , they would rather go and buy one in a supermarket instead. I love finding them - walking in the woods, or even finding them in local open spaces. How confident do you feel about collecting wild food?

I am not brave enough to pick up wild mushrooms! I heard too many stories about people picking and eating the wrong ones! How do know if you are picking a good one or a bad one? They all seem to look the same.

No, I am in Florida. But when I lived in Pennsylvania there were a lot of wild mushrooms everywhere. My parents always told us not to touch them.

My father n law used to love collecting wild mushrooms. He was good at picking out the good ones from the bad. I wouldn't know a poisonous one from a good one so I couldn't do it. My husband and I buy ours from the store and we both love mushrooms but I wouldn't mind trying a wild one as long as it wasn't poisonous! :)

The place i live in is very much popular for wild mushrooms and i also love them. Here they are available in open spaces and many prefer them to eat inspite of the risk present in open spaces.
