Tips for Mushroom Hunters

A mushroom manual or illustrated book is essential for all serious mushroom hunters. For those not wanting to invest in a purchase may find a handy guidebook for free at the local library.
Tom had a beloved aunt who used to take him mushroom hunting when he was a small boy. She knew exactly what to look for and was an expert when it came to mushroom hunting. Unlike Tom's aunt, I would not feel secure in eating or touching wild mushrooms because the most-friendly of mushrooms often have mirror versions while can be lethal. And if you plan to handle mushrooms, only do such using protective gloves. With some varieties of mushrooms, all it takes is one touch to the mushroom and one touch to the lips to prove fatal. Keeping this in mind, always exercise caution when mushroom hunting and look - don't touch, unless of course, you are an expert.
Mushrooms adore marshy ground - an environment in which they thrive. One of the best time to spot mushrooms is after a good rain shower. Be sure to take along your camera.
Many mushrooms exhibit vibrant colors that are guaranteed to fascinate the viewer, and to fill them with wonder. All grow extremely fast and are just as short-lived. Be sure and catch the magic before it vanishes!
