The Amateur Mycologist - Random Find - Likely Agaricus campestris - The Field Mushroom

Good idea to do a post about it!! It's a fairly new law and this is the first year my state (NC) has a certification process. I'm still trying to educate my chefs and fellow foraging friends about the necessity of it...not everyone is happy about the change but I personally think it was a wise move.

Oh definitely - it always seemed crazy to me that people could just sell found mushrooms without vetting their skillset. Once a restaurant is serving wild mushrooms people will drop their guards entirely and assume they're safe. So the vetting definitely should be done before hand, at least to establish a baseline of skill. Though I understand how this might frustrate individuals who make their living off the trade.

That is exactly the issues being debated as people are trying to adjust to the new laws.
