No information is provided on this website concerning the edibilty of the fungi identified on its pages. The primary purpose of this site is to help the user identify species of wild fungi growing on wood and to serve as an introduction to their biology. Certainly, some wood decay fungi are edible but others are toxic and some are deadly. Further, individual allergic reactions are always possible even with mushrooms generally considered safe. Any person choosing to consume wild fungi should know for certain which species are edible or poisonous. The best way to do this is by joining a local mushroom club. The North American Mycological Association (NAMA) maintains links to local clubs throughout the country.
