  • You should always use a guide and go through every distinguishing feature. AFAIK their spores aren’t toxic, just allergenic. But you wouldn’t be getting them when they’re sporulating.

    But you’re right, the fact that young amanitas are a lookalike is a good reason to avoid them. Giant puffballs don’t usually have that problem due to their sheer size.




  • If you have chanterelles in your yard that would be so cool. They’re an excellent beginner friendly mushroom, easy to positively ID, and absolutely delicious.

    Second may be a puffball or an earth ball (or something else, I’m still quite a beginner myself). Puffballs should be easy to positively ID too, just not as easy as chanterelles. A choice edible.
