Just make sure you know what species you're hunting for, if you happen to be searching for mushrooms...

BigTrancerWarnings on wild mushrooms
Source: AAP|Published: Thursday May 3, 12:56 PM
Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens warned Victorians today not to eat wild mushrooms unless they were bought at a shop or market.
The warning follows similar advice from state health authorities after the onset of wet weather that has led to ideal mushroom growing conditions.
The gardens' fungi specialist, Dr Tom May, warned that a number of mushroom varieties were poisonous.
He said four varieties - the ghost cap, yellow stainer, yellow puffball and death cap - were responsible for most poisonings.
Little was known about most of the several hundred mushroom species in Victoria, he said.
