Learn to recognize
The mushrooms that
can kill you!!!
"It truly surprises most people to learn that of thousands of mushrooms,
probably less than a dozen are deadly. There are, of course, scores that will
cause sufficient grief to make you wish they were deadly, but in truth they are
no worse than an overdose of prune juice." Celebrating The Wild Mushroom -
A Passionate Quest by Sara Ann Friedman
"There are old mushroom hunters
and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold mushroom
hunters", Klingensmith said.
But there are always those that break the rule :o)
I joined Boston Mycological Club and went out on their forays. In the spring of 2004, I went out three times with the Berkshire Mycological Society, on Morel hunts. I found my first Morel, for me, and for the club at hunt #2! At hunt #3 I went back to the fist hunt location and found 4 Morel there. I found 2 Morel at hunt #3. I then was able to find Morel closer to where I live. I like the way the Berkshire club is run. They have no dues nor any meetings to attend. They post their schedule on their web site to announce the forays. Instructions and maps are provided on the web site. I like this free and informal system. If I lived closer to the Berkshires, I would go out with them on a regular basis.

I have found the digital camera a very useful tool in helping me learn to identify mushrooms. I also take a pictures of anything that I find interesting. I am primarily interested in edible mushrooms but will take pictures of anything that strike my fancy and in some cases even track down what it is called. The mushrooms that I use in the background and as the center photo in the banner, I have not identified. To me, they looked like they were dancing. That was good enough reason to take their picture.
