I am always so jealous of the countries that are rich in mushrooms. Some of the most exotic and beautiful that I have ever seen I have been chastised to not touch because there poisonous. I believe you are right, the prettier they are the more poisonous they become. My grandmother and mother used to pick mushrooms when I was growing up and the variety is little but I know of those mushrooms and having moved out of the area, I no longer trust myself to pick among the mushrooms here. I do not have that confidence or the know-how but I do miss rummaging through the woods and finding them like we have found treasure.
Thank you for a most enjoyable post and for the beauty found in nature.
Tip!
You're right. When you move you can't trust the mushrooms anymore.
YES!
