For mushrooms the only good advice is, if you don't know what you are doing, don't go foraging for mushrooms. Rules and guidelines that apply for one region might not work for another. The risk reward never works out if you're inexperienced. You either get a tasty treat or incurable certain death. It's not a great gamble.

You either get a ~~tasty treat~~ bland, mild dirt flavor or incurable certain death.

Sure, and I suppose you’re going to advise me not to do my own electrical home wiring either. 😛

If you're even half competent, you could (not recommended) actually do some basic electrical work at home and come out of it alive and well after a few youtube videos and some reasonable precautions. I can't same the same about mushroom foraging.

People are shocked when they find out how bad I am at electrical work!
