Just so everyone is aware:

An international group of qualified mushroom identifiers who do worldwide identification in emergency cases have identified the Shroomers App as a potentially very dangerous system that could kill you if you try to use it to identify edible mushrooms. They use AI to generate almost all of their content, including their identification profiles on their app as well as their books and other materials. Not only is this unethical from a content creation standpoint, it is also extremely dangerous.

DO NOT USE APPS FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES BEYOND SIMPLE CURIOSITY. A MISTAKE WHEN IDENTIFYING AN EDIBLE COULD COST YOU YOUR LIFE. DO NOT EAT ANY FORAGED MUSHROOM YOU CANNOT IDENTIFY YOURSELF BY SIGHT OR HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN PERSON BY SOMEONE WHO CAN.

ONLY BUY BOOKS FROM REPUTABLE SOURCES AND AT THIS POINT THAT MEANS ASKING EXPERIENCED PEOPLE WHAT BOOKS THEY USE.

Mushrooms are fun, amazing organisms. Enjoy safely.

As an additional rule of thumb,

Always examine multiple sources if you're unfamiliar with what you're identifying. If you suspect a certain species, make sure these sources agree on its qualities (what color is the spore print, how do the gills connect, what type of pores does it have, does it have a skirt, is it found in your area, is it found during this time, etc etc).

This is far from the only or last instance of misinformation for identifications. Using multiple resources will help prevent you from being misled in the future.

it always blows my mind when people are shocked by or even disbelieving of the fact that "breaking bad" is like a genuinely funny show with actual jokes and absurd situations. do they really think the most critically-acclaimed, popular show of all time got that way because its fucking miserable and dour and gritty The Whole Time
