Mushroom hunting

Mushroom hunting, mushrooming, mushroom picking, mushroom foraging, and similar terms describe the activity of gathering mushrooms in the wild. This is typically done for culinary purposes, although medicinal and psychotropic uses are also known. Expert analysis is required to distinguish between useful and poisonous species.

The practice is popular throughout most of Eurasia and Australia, as well as in temperate regions of North America.
