‘Shroom Safety As we fall into autumn, excitement about mushrooms and foraging rises. This has actually been a surprisingly good mushroom year, with plentiful foraging opportunities throughout the entire season. As soon as we get some rain this autumn, the ‘shrooms will likely pop up plentiful again! Mushrooms and mushroom foraging is a topic I am still quite the novice in, so rather than talking about specific mushrooms, I want to discuss safety and the proper preparation of mushrooms. From my own observations, this is an aspect of mushroom consumption that is misunderstood and glossed over, but of the utmost importance for your own health and a happy belly.
