DON’T DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WITH AN EXPERT AND KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE DOING.
Last month, two New Jersey men nearly died from eating mushrooms.
However, there are several mushroom clubs in our area that study and teach everything you want to know about fungi. The New Jersey Micological Association has around 400 members and has been around for 40 years. I contacted them when viewer Robin Tillman wanted to go on her first mushroom hunt and she asked me to help.
You’ll see in the story most of the mushrooms we found in the Pine Barrens are very poisonous and dangerous. Only one was considered safe to eat.

i met a professor of botany from Princeton gathering. he said there is a saying in Italy, "There are Bold mushroom gatherers and there are Old gatherers, but there are No Old Bold mushroom gatherers.
