Up front, yeah, I absolutely didn't read all of that. I am an amateur forager, and while I'm confident enough to sight identify common edibles and eat them, I don't consider myself to "know about mushrooms" either. My problem with your comment is that it's just as bad as AI giving advice; people might skim through and take it as fact without reading your little disclaimer, just like people skim through and take AI as fact without knowing better. That probably seems fine on the surface because your comment is just the opposite of the meme and, if followed, your advice will definitely prevent anyone getting poisoned. Unfortunately, it also will really discourage anyone interested in foraging. I'd hate for someone to miss out on a fun, healthy hobby because you can't just keep your shit to your self.

Lemmy has communities where people who know what they're talking about can give actual good advice. Please seek one out!
