Top Apps to Help Identify Which Mushrooms Campers Can Eat
Be Smarter Have Adventures Stay Healthy
Learn about the world of wild mushrooms, what to eat, what not to eat, and the family fun you can have learning to forage as a team.
If you’re taking the family for a weekend camping trip, why not learn how to forage mushrooms as an activity that benefits your dinner that night? Learn a new hobby together by finding a foraging for beginners application and a guide to mushroom hunting. Most foraging applications and guides will give you an explanation on how to start foraging for wild mushrooms or some guidelines to begin your hunt. Most will tell you to memorize two different types of mushrooms that you can eat so you can be positive when you come across one of them. Along with choosing your mushrooms to memorize and find, it might also be wise to bring along your phone with a downloaded fungi identification application just do double-check your findings. These guides also help you identify the best place to hunt for mushrooms. Since the best place is usually a forest area, you’re already set in the right spot for hunting and camping. These guides will also offer advice on mushroom foraging tools. They offer good ideas about tools you might not think of as a beginner that will help you stay healthy on your hunting adventure. Having adventures with your family are some of the best memories you can give to your kids, and foraging for wild mushrooms teaches them pretty interesting skills.
If you are not positive on how to tell what are non-poisonous mushrooms and which ones to stay very far away from, there are handheld guides that have a list of poisonous mushrooms. If you’re more of a visual person, try a mushroom identification app that has pictures of edible mushrooms so you know what the good ones look like. Try starting with some familiar ones like some yummy chanterelles or oyster. It might be easier to identify the ones you’ve enjoyed sauteed in butter and are a common mushroom to eat than the poisonous ones you’ve never seen on your plate before. It's also wise to never eat wild mushrooms raw. Some mushrooms can have a mild toxin but it can be released from heat so fry them good in loads of butter and enjoy. But the best advice for deciding whether or not to fry up those mushrooms, be smart. If you’re not absolutely positive of what type of mushroom it is, call in the cream of mushroom can, or buy some save the day button mushrooms and save the fresh ones for another day when you are certain of its nontoxic character.

While camping or hiking, you never know when you may become stranded and must go 24 or 48 hours with no food. Having an app that identifies mushrooms and plants can be very useful during this time. It can also help prevent unwanted rashes from poison ivy or poison oak.
