Deadly mushroom poisonings in California mark record US outbreak

4. The first time I went mushroom hunting

Well besides Psilocybin. We found a bunch of nice ones in the Cascades. When we got back to Seattle we found out that there was a meeting of the mycological society going on that day.
So we took our finds to the show and they double checked them.
One of the guys took our pig’s ears (Gomphus clavatus) to put into a display. Had to look up the Latin for that one.
Besides that we got some boletus mushrooms that have pores on the underside instead of gills, so they're easier to identify.
At any rate go with someone that knows what their doing. Learn what mushrooms you can expect to find and how to ID them. Get a second opinion.
