That's true, mushrooms can be really pretty, and some of them can look really funny, e.g. Gyromitra esculenta (Wikipedia article)! I haven't been foraging mushrooms my whole life, so I'm not an expert either, in fact a few years ago I was able to recognize three different mushrooms of which two are poisonous... Haha! However, if some of your friends or someone in your family likes to do that, I recommend going with them, it can be really fun! :)
