Ha! Yep there's some good fungi groups on FB.
Awesome finds @rhb keep the photos coming I love it.
Personally I'd only eat what I was 100% confident in IDing. This means I'd want to know if what I have picked has any nasty lookalikes. I'm no expert so I've eaten hardly anything up until now.
I ate some wood ears last year, they are very easy to identify and delicious if dried/rehydrated in booze and dipped in chocolate.
The ceps I'm sure of so I've dried them and will eat them. There's no nasty look alikes for the ceps I've picked based on the cap/stem/habitat features.
I have a few books I used to check them and a few website and I asked some groups, everyone agrees with my ID but to eat them it's only my ID I'd trust at the end of the day.
I'd love to go on a proper foraging course but I think I'd still only eat the really easy things to identify like chicken of the woods, Cauliflower fungus, ceps and hedgehog mushrooms.
