Thank you! I definitely will keep that community in mind when I find cool mushrooms! I know just about the basic essentials when it comes to mushrooms. That is I know what definitely not to take with me, and a couple of edible mushrooms that are most easy to recognize; chantarelles, yellowfoots and black trumpets mainly.
My wife knows plenty of mushrooms though, so she's a lifesaver if it ever comes to finding edible mushrooms.
We Finns are crazy, and we also eat this mushroom, it is delicious, but deadly.
o! Gyromitra esculenta, i know that! I made a post about differences between this shroom and his edible 'synonim' -- morels.

Gyromitra is not deadly :) it is considered toxic, and indeed in more warm-climate countries, it contains some deadly toxins within, and in our, less warmer climate, they are nice tasty mushrooms without that toxin. weird? absolutely! shrooms are not that simple (well, and they do not pretend to be simple, hehe!)
btw I am from St.Petersburg; we are almost neightbours (well, on the world scale!)

Yes practically neighbours, only 345km in between. That's about a 4½ hour drive.
Mushrooms are weird. And they are still very much unexplored territory even in sciences. I wonder what they are going to discover.
btw: believe me or not, but one of FL moderators, @davidgermano, has mushrooms as its science field! if you are curious to ask, you may probably approach him with a question -- what does he doing with shrooms :P
