edible fungi
Foraged forest food
Edible fungi are mushrooms and other fungal organisms safe for human consumption.
This category includes familiar varieties like button mushrooms, shiitakes, and chanterelles, as well as truffles and morels prized in fine cuisine.
The term distinguishes these from poisonous species, which can be difficult for amateurs to identify in the wild.
Foragers must learn to distinguish edible fungi from toxic lookalikes.
