Sure, I’ve got the impression that you really know the mushrooms. Good for you - decent food for free.
Everyone is not as knowing. There has been cases where nice pictures and stories have inspired people to fetch some free food from the nature. That has lead to sad errors, especially among immigrants. New country, new species, it is easy to make mistakes if you do not first put some effort to learning the species.
In Finland, we have traditional everyman’s rights that give everybody the right to walk in forested lands and pick berries and mushroom - if the landowners would try to restrict that, it would be a violation of law. When immigrants learn that you can just go and pick porcini, matsutake and other valued mushrooms for free and without limitations, that inspires many. I live in an area where there are lots of people going through the closest forest patches to find the best mushrooms. There are a wide variety of edible species, some with commercial value, but also many poisonous species.
I try to learn one or two new edible species every year. That gives a possibility to find mushrooms even when someone has just emptied the site from the mushrooms that have commercial value. So far, I have not taken the Amanita - when there are many options, why take the potentially poisonous ones that you have to prepare in a special way to keep alive?
Well, the brain mushrooms have been an exception - delicious ones although a bit deadly if you do not prepare them correctly.
