Fungi February: The meadow mushroom sometimes fruits so prolifically it can "white-out" fields! It tastes similar to the button mushroom. It also looks similar to several poisonous (and a few deadly) species, so foraging is best left to the experts.
Disclaimer: Don't rely on pictures of cute mushrooms with eyes to accurately identify edible mushrooms. At best the wrong one will taste bad, at worst it'll be deadly!
