ai generated mushroom guides could get people killed

'i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of: plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you"

"update: i keep getting annoyed that the QTs are like "if this is true, it's horrifying" ..but you're right, you don't know me from a hole in the ground and you SHOULD worry about the veracity of anything you find online."

thread source

so i went looking

the full description:

How to quickly become a confident mushroom forager without fear of misidentifying poisonous lookalikes!

Have you dreamt about becoming more self-sufficient and sourcing your own fresh, local ingredients?

Do you want to start sustainably foraging so you can become healthier and happier?

Have you thought about harvesting wild mushrooms but afraid you won’t be able to tell the edible and poisonous species apart?

Then this book is for you!

Save money and enjoy the delicacies that nature has to offer. Mushroom hunting is easier than you think, and less dangerous than everyone assumes.

Wild plant foraging is increasing in popularity with celebrity chefs and small cafes jumping on the bandwagon and using locally foraged produce in their food.

There are so many benefits of foraging to your health (physical and mental) and even the environment!

In Fearless Foraging in the Rocky Mountains, you’ll discover:

Over 40 species of mushroom you can harvest all year round

Complimentary access to the mobile-friendly Digital Field Guide that includes high-resolution photos and descriptions of all edible mushrooms and any toxic lookalikes so you don’t have to worry about misidentifying species

How to correctly create (and use) spore prints to help you figure out what’s what

An annual mushroom calendar so you can keep track of the mushrooms by season and make the most of each foraging season

Detailed descriptions of the anatomical properties of fungi - gain the essential knowledge you need to correctly identify species

Tips on sustainable foraging - and ways to increase the natural mushroom count for next time you visit!

And much more!

Foraging is a tradition upheld for centuries by indigenous people who used ancient, respectful principles to live off the land. Connect with that history by embracing the artful skills and knowledge to confidently collect food for your meals.

Even if you're still worried about toxic mushrooms, let this guide reassure you. Included are incredibly high-level descriptions and details to use so you don’t get it wrong. NOTE: To keep it economically prices, our paperback version is printed in black and white. Premium color is available in our hardcover version. Both will provide the quality necessary to identify wild mushrooms and plants and both come with access to the full color, high-resolution Digital Field Guide.

If you want to learn the skillful art of foraging mushrooms and enjoy nature's nutritious bounties then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button now.

wild harvest publications... no named author? i n t e r e s t i n g

"To keep it economically prices" hmm *the design is very human meme*

this book that promises highly detailed descriptions doesn't even have color images unless you pay a premium

"Mushroom hunting is easier than you think, and less dangerous than everyone assumes." hmm. hmmmmm. yeah the government definitely put out those 'if you don't know what it is don't put it in your mouth' PSAs for no reason

tldr don't buy foraging guides off amazon if you can't locate a human author and verify their credentials yourself

#mushrooms #fungi #fungus #ai #amazon #foraging #we live in the worst timeline #incorrect foraging guides is like something a hostile government would distribute to kill dissidents about to go into hiding in the woods #but no its idiots who want to make money #mushroom identification #mushrooming

Darkness and coolness bring forth mushrooms of all types and kinds.

Autumn is a bonanza for foraging, but be careful. Many, but not all, are edible.

Some, like the red-looking Russula will causse illness if not properly prepared.

Best to stay far away; there are so many other safer choices.

Rehydrating a mix of foraged bolete mushrooms and shitake for a morning egg and tofu scramble

I was able to collect so many mushrooms this year 💜 opening the jars of dried mushrooms always makes me think of the perfect fall days spent collecting them

Mushroom season has definitely begun in the Midwest.

Wetter weather and cool nights can bloom mushrooms of beastly proportions.

This monster is something called a Giant Puffball. They can get bigger still...

Don't worry. The beast was slain, fried in butter, and seasoned with a bit of salt.

Mushrooming is not just about mushrooms. 'Tis about the breathtaking landscapes you happen to see, the stange odd things you happen to find, the spiderwebs on your face, the sweating, the silence, birds singing far away, somewhere in the valley, the rustlings of lizards in the grass, the gruff calls of raw deers when you approach an area where they're standing.

But it's also about mushrooms. Like when, after a two hours walk without having found anything, you feel kind of lost; you have taken the strangest paths uncut through by human being so to meet them on your way, but you met just rustlings, and gruff calls, and odd things and spiderwebs on your face, and also a light rain is starting to pouring down a grey sky, and even your cat, who has followed you all the way through, is starting to swearing, you see them. Unexpectedly you see them. And turning to your faithful cat, you go, "See? It was worth it."
