mushroom hunter
Woods-wandering mycophile
A mushroom hunter is someone who forages for wild mushrooms, searching forests and fields for edible or interesting species.
The activity combines nature knowledge with culinary interest, though it carries real risk—some mushrooms are deadly poisonous.
Also called a mushroomer or, more formally, a mycophile: The mushroom hunters gathered at dawn with their baskets and field guides.
