I always liked Shirley Conran's advice:
"Life is too short to stuff a mushroom".
Same as "Keep it simple", but more graphic.
This year was a very good one for mushrooms. Yet I didn't collect them in 2022 - my family was too anxious, though they could be assured that I will be cautious: I only collect chanterelles (found lots of them in Austria), bay bolete, and, if I am very lucky: porcini.
On my cellphone I installed an App that helps to decide whether a mushroom is "good" or not - but I only do use it to get the upper hand in that mycelium of dizzy mushroom names - NOT to collect any for the pan. I join in with Pu Bear: "You never can tell with bees mushrooms."
Next year I plan to take a course at an expert of mushrooms - here in Bavaria - maybe then they will be reassured?
Query: Is it true that a "toadstool" is always a poisonous mushroom?
