It's an interesting thing in terms of tipping points, though, cause once the folk knowledge of which mushrooms you can eat has been lost, it's rather hard to re-gain. Apparently looking in books is really inadequate compared to just going mushrooming with your parents for years.
I went mushrooming with a variety of nationalities of people in Sweden. Occasionally I would spot a beautiful specimen, only to be told it was poisonous - but it looked, to me, identical to the ones they were picking. So it's not something I'll be taking up any time soon. Pity, I adore mushrooms and it would fit with my idiom.
