I opened the comments just to warn people how shitty this article is, but I guess I was not the only one.

In my experience foraging is regional, locals know what kind of mushrooms grow in which forest. This kind of "look out for these LOL" list is not useful at all.

e.g in my region the parasol mushrooms are one of the best picks due to their sheer size and distinct characteristics. I would recommend it more to beginners.

Some mushrooms on the list have similar quite toxic ones, and here there is only one picture, there is no explanation on what to look out for. I hope no reader gets the false impression of it being safe (which is literally in the title of the article). Hate it.
