RE: Pickled Wild Mushrooms (Chicken of the Woods)
Great that you can bring home memories to your friend.
I know about the dangers of mushrooms only too well. I have a friend who is an experienced forager and she ate something she shouldn't have and she got very sick. It took a very long time to get well again.
It's a real threat, especially with mushrooms. There are many edible species that i feel confident identifying but still won't eat because of the potential look alikes. Certain features don't lie though and i should feel more comfortable than i actually do. I've thankfully never been sick but know others who have.
I always go with the lowest risk model as well. Better safe than sorry.....
