I've never hunted for them. With some of the native species looking similar to edible species and having names like death angel, destroying angel, angel of death I'm not comfortable enough with my own identifications to take the chance lol. Even when I ate those shiitake's above 2 days ago there was, in the back of my mind, a bit of concern
haha -- those names are something else. I like the Black Chanterelle, which also goes by names that are completely the opposite message: Horn of Plenty or Trumpet of Death. And they are delicious!
