Here is Part 2 of our Mushroom 101 series. In this episode we sniff, poke and prod. That’s right, in the collection process there are interesting observations we must make in order to identify our mushrooms. In Part 1 we covered the anatomy of a mushroom, but we must go beyond that, gathering essential clues that’ll help us piece together a mushroom’s identity.
