Tldr: Use reliable sources when hunting mushrooms.
While agreed, how do you find the reliable surfaces amid the sea of garbage, especially when you’re first starting out?
Buy a book published more that a couple of years ago. Or ask the people living in the area (the older the better, normally ). Or ask the people living in the area where you can have the mushrooms checked, they usually know where to go.
Mycology forums and clubs can be good ways to find reliable books, apps, etc for identification
How does one find a mycology forum or club without falling prey to SEO optimized AI generated results? AI isn’t just generating books, they can write fake web pages for non-existent clubs and fake entire forums and optimize the hell out of the SEO to maximize positioning on Google’s search results.
Sure, but youre talking about Dead Internet Theory at that point, which applies to all topics not just mycology
Ask the people living in the area. They know the mushrooms and eventually they know where to go to have them checked.
