There are so many different kinds of mushrooms in a forest. Some of them are edible - and super delicious! But others contain poisons that are toxic to eat. Which kind of mushroom are these? Join me in another close up look at wild mushrooms -- and play the game "Will I Eat This or Not?"
Here's how the game goes. I will show some key features of these mushrooms that will allow you to mull over whether I will eat them or not. Then, I will go through the steps and thought process I use to identify the mushrooms and decide whether I will eat them or not.
To identify these mushrooms, I am using 2 different keys, which are great tools for focusing on specific features of a mushroom and making "either-or" decisions that ultimately lead to figuring out what kind it is. To find out the general type of mushroom I've got, I use the inside cover from the book, "All That The Rain Promises and More", by David Arora. And then I use the book, "Mushrooms Demystified", also by David Arora.
