A perfect opportunity to venture into the wonderful world of mycology. Learn how to find and identify mushrooms in nature and how to grow your own mushrooms at home. Why limit yourself to supermarket mushrooms?
Recommend growing what you know is safe. The amount of “could kill you” mushrooms in the US is fairly low IIRC, but the amount of “this looks almost identical to an edible species but will make your day/week Not Fun” species is high enough in most places that I wouldn’t chance my luck on foraging.
There are some safe ones that are easy for even beginners to identify reliably, such as morels, but of course people should be careful with harvesting wild mushrooms and should never consume amy without being certain as to what each mushroom is. Even experienced mushroom foragers make mistakes sometimes, especially when similar looking mushrooms grow close together.
Yep, this and mushrooms will need to come off the shopping list.
