We have all seen mushrooms. You probably have seen them pop up in your yard if you’ve ever over-watered the lawn at one time or another. They certainly love moisture and this is why they are plentiful in the rain forest.

It really is wonderful to have experts like Fraser Simpson around to show us what is and is not edible when it comes to wilderness dining. Besides mushrooms we are sure there are other vegetation that we may think safe but, unknown to us, are poisonous.

It always pays to really do some investigation before picking or tasting anything in the forest that you are absolutely uncertain is consumable. You research on mushrooms and other growths could very well save your life!
