It\u2019s good exercise for your brain, eyes, and body. You can collect mushrooms in wooded areas of the northwest, or you can buy a starter and grow them yourself. A lot of the fun is the hunt itself because mushrooms like to \u201chide\u201d in certain places. But you will also be rewarded when you find any of the amazingly tasty edible varieties. Mushrooms are classified as fungi, but provide some of the nutrients found in vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a note of caution, though! The red mushrooms pictured here look very tasty, but they\u2019re not. These will make you sick, or worse. If you want to hunt for edible mushrooms, you should first learn from experienced hunters and take along a field guide with detailed descriptions and color photos.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended Ebooks<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mushroom hunting is so much fun!
