Important limits
Do not eat, handle, collect, or travel to a mushroom based only on this website.
Descriptions, photos, edibility labels, observation dates, and map markers are educational information. They cannot account for every regional species, individual variation, contamination, allergy, preparation risk, or changing scientific conclusion.
A marker does not grant access or permission to collect. Verify land ownership, current closures, permits, harvest limits, protected species, and local regulations with the responsible authority.
Identification should use the complete specimen, multiple independent expert sources, and a qualified person familiar with mushrooms in the region. No photograph, app, or algorithm can confirm edibility.
Contact a poison center or emergency service immediately. Do not wait for symptoms and do not use this website to diagnose or treat an exposure.
