I DO think that maybe it's only a midwestern thing, hunting mushrooms....
Seriously, it's a springtime RITUAL around here, and I know HUNDREDS of people who hunt them. People sell them to stores(not me, I eat em, cuz they're DELICIOUS), and the stores resell them for $30-40/lb. And I'll pack and freeze any, if I find an abundance.
Take a look at the Wiki pic, there's no making a mistake, on what you're picking. Hell, I've done it since I was probably 5 years old!
