I realized all the cooking shows I ever saw never used Suillus luteus fungi, which is weird cuz it's ubiquitous and delicious and the most used (dried) fungi in my country (hexbear.net)

Literally

Lepiota, Macrolepiota and Chlorophyllum genus are fucking identical. I can't distinguish shit and I'm sure I've picked them one of each and threw them in the same boiling water for 15 minutes.

I just refuse to pick anything white/brown unless it's morphologically distinct. Amanita is the big toxic mushroom around here and some of them look exactly like puffballs at their most delicious.

Lol

The mycologist dude took the whole class to a field trip where we picked like 100 different fungi and the trip started with him saying "hey let's go check that oak, ah cool Amanita phalloides. This single little guy can kill us all here if we shared a smoothie with this guy in it"

You don't happen to have any clue about the black-gilled fungi my family avoids but the dude told me most likely were safe?

It's a parasol, black gills, smooth shinny grey surface, 99% grows on top of cow dung

Parasols I don't know unfortunately. They're too generic to risk foraging here.
