My name is Heather and I am just starting to learn about mushrooms. I am a nature loving person, but never have I ever seen so many mushrooms as I have the last two years. I know my plants and want to learn to identify mushrooms too. I have a couple of books I ordered today as recommended by someone that is married to a person in another forum, but sometimes having people who know what they're doing will help me. As soon as I can, I will find someone local that has classes, but for now, the forums it is. Thank you in advance to anyone who helps. I'm in central Illinois, not famous for its fungus, but it seems there's more and more of it lately. I am looking forward to learning about mushrooms while here, the ones that are good to eat, the ones that might be edible but are bad, and the ones that can kill you. lol
