That was a roller-coaster...
I'm also a forager and I think this is a very dangerous and irresponsible thing to say.
Please never rely on that advice if you ever go mushroom foraging. There is no short cut here.
I read somewhere this is how humans most likely learned what is good and bad to eat. Just need to see something else eating it and it's most likely good.
Except theres lots of berries birds can eat but we don't
That still gives a better chance than nothing at all
your shiitake is not being eaten cuz it's very far from native species in your area. I'm sure where it originally grows bugs feast on them non stop
Uhm, flies go after fly agaric.
And fly agaric isnt very poisonous, as long as it’s dehydrated
