Comment on Mushroom Guides
Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 4 months agoI’m less interested in the total number of species, and more interested in my likelihood of holding one

Possibly, but which species are more common? Maybe poisonous mushrooms are 0.1% of the number of species, but 10% of the number of mushrooms growing.

“Maybe”
Why not look it up like I did instead of postulating and nothing more?
TwentySeven@lemmy.world 4 months ago
My point is that you did not account for how common each species is

I see about 5 unknown mushrooms for every one known deadly one (death cap, growing under the canopy of an oak)
