From my friends who do foraging: you only eat stuff you 1000% know doesn’t have an imitator in the area, and even then you’re tossing out about 3/4 of what you forage just to be safe.
Basically, check the details against known examples.
Things to check:
shape (both inside and out)
color (both inside and out)
gills
spore pattern
what it was growing on
what season you found it
what location you found it
Ideally, you’ll be with someone that knows the mushrooms in the area and can offer more guidance. And again, if you aren’t 100% sure of the fungus, toss it rather than take a chance.
Yes, you do not even need a doctor if you catch it soon enough, eat charcoal. After it is absorbed into your bloodstream you need a hospital. Although certain plants help protect the liver like milk thistle and teasel root extract which grow wild at least in North America here. But they have other stuff too.
how would i really no-ai differentiate? is it survivable if one were to accidentally eat it and find a doctor?
