    Eating your mushroom can be another fun way to eat real, and can add a personal touch to home-cooked meals. Autumn is a great time to scrub the best (and worst) types you should look for.

    The largest varieties of mushrooms can be found between September and November, due to the wet and humid climate. Get out after a few days of rain and you should be lucky, as new species of animals are likely to 'emerge' in abundance. Local woods and nearby fun dip walks are ideal places to visit - and after a time of exploration you will become familiar with the rich landscapes.

    Once you get

    used to the tropics, you can begin to decide which mushrooms to take home. Make sure you read it thoroughly before committing to cooking Stroganoff mushroom party. As always, the Golden Rule remains: if you are unsure about a species do not take risks - be wise when dealing with new discoveries.

    The standard diagnostic process is a termination process. Working with debts is a safe guide, and it is a good idea to go against legal guidelines for complete certainty.

    Steps to identify mushrooms

    A closer look at the different parts of the mushroom is a good start to the diagnostic journey. Check out the following features when encountering a new genre to begin your successful classification. Please note: A particular shape or color will not clearly indicate whether a mushroom is edible or not poisonous - these are guidelines that should be considered together and in line with secondary sources.

    1. Cap (shape and size)

    There are many different types and shapes that can be made of a mushroom cap, all of which can give an indication of which family the mushroom may belong to. Here is an example of the types of caps you can expect to find to help you successfully name your food findings.

    Start by noticing the color (s) of the mushroom. Second, write down if the actual color changes when the mushrooms are damaged. Cutting a cap can also be an exciting test to see if the inside of a mushroom changes color when exposed to the wind. Although, secondly, any unusual marking especially and general ‘feeling’ of the mushroom can be a useful indicator of the mushroom family. Margin (cap edge) is an additional indicator - do mushrooms have folded or raised edges? Mark it down.

    2. Letters

    First, it is important to point out that spores are produced by gills, pores or pikes - these will be found under the mushroom cap head. Sometimes gills attach themselves to the trunk and sometimes they do not - these are important details to be aware of. Color, space, thickness and consistency are all other important factors to consider.

    3. Stem

    Again, consider the shape and size. Is it remarkably short? Thick? You are young? As for color, think about whether it matches your cap notes. Next, see if there is a ring - how would you describe the ring? And does the harmony change below or above you? As before with the cap, look for any markings on the trunk - maybe freckling? Examine the bottom of the trunk and check that it is fun dip to the ground or not - and that the trunk appears to have an extension under the ground.

    Lastly, cutting the stem and checking that the interior is empty or solid can be a good indication.
