like literally melt your kidneys, liver, brain or all 3, which is why I don't forage for mushrooms lol

geordi-no picking wild mushrooms

geordi-yes innoculating wild mushrooms

Also some species are dead easy to recognize, but I do feel a lot more comfortable having first grown them at home

I have tried cultivating p cubensis outside and had no success. I think it was my innoculum that wasn't sterile. It's a really finicky species, I think starting your own culture from agar is the only foolproof method, or try for the uncle Ben tek and get lucky with a clean needle. But it's definitely not easy. Shiitake is easy.

Uncle Ben worked a dream for me! Indoor, low light, misted every day.
