Recognizing These Natural Disaster Warning Signs Will Save Your Life

Mushrooms Growing Next to Trees

Foraging for mushrooms, heck, foraging for food, in general, is a dangerous game. However, with the proper set of skills and the accompaniment of an experienced forager, you can walk out of the forest with a meal of free, organic fungus and foliage. One important thing that you’re going to learn on your first foraging day is that you never, ever pluck mushrooms that grow close to trees unless you know exactly what they are. Poisonous mushrooms tend to like to spread their spores close to, and on wet trees. Search flat, low areas for edible fungus.
