Experienced foragers worry that the new wave of foraging guides produced by artificial intelligence provide misleading—even dangerous—information to novice foragers, and lack details on how to harvest in an ecologically responsible way.
This is what real foraging guides look like. If the cover doesn’t look like this you’ve got to go and look up the author and their bonafides before trusting anything in their book. If you’re new to foraging, you should be bringing a few books or guides with you for cross referencing and confirmation of species.
That is such a great book too. David Arora also does a field guide called Mushrooms Demystified. The cover is a lot more what you would expect for a mushroom field guide, though
