        One day we will team up, I'm sure! <3 I always carry some water with me so I can wash my mouth out (the bitter/acrid ones can be overwhelming). Posted 6 years ago

          You are way more brave than I am! I no longer taste mushies. Although, I am much more carefree with sampling plants, probably because I am much more familiar with the native edibles. Mushrooms scare me too much. I simply can't get my brain to accept that you can safely "taste" a poisonous mushroom! Urggg. Posted 6 years ago
