mushroom hunting
Seeking wild fungi
Mushroom hunting is the activity of foraging for wild mushrooms, typically for eating.
It requires knowledge to distinguish edible species from poisonous ones—a mistake can be fatal.
Also called mushrooming or mushroom foraging.
We went mushroom hunting after the rain and found a patch of chanterelles.
