It's a shame really that people wont eat a fungi on principle, for there
are some that are superb to eat and not easily confused with poisonous
ones.

Boleti, (avoid any with an orangy-red underside) although some are
inedible such as the peppery bolitus. and the Hedgehog fungus, Hydnum
repandum are easily identifiable and are delicious.


I tried the latter once, and found it as bitter as gall. I don't
like bitter foods ....
