Emergency Identification for Mushrooms & Plants

“As the saying goes, there are two types of mushroom people: bold or old. But there are also kids and pets who eat things they shouldn't. Generally speaking, it is deeply unwise to trust the internet or an app for a mushroom ID—the dangerous ones esp. are varied and sneaky—but this Facebook group is a great resource for emergency IDs of any mushroom or plant a kid, pet, or overconfident adult has eaten. Learned about it through Slog Lords, one of the five Substack newsletters I make time to read.”
