I'm somewhat new to the central florida area and was wondering if there are any mushroom hunting groups around? Or some sort of mushroom community in general that meets outside of the internet? I would love to try hunting but don't have enough knowledge to identify exactly what I'm picking or where to even go picking.

I am autistic and fascinated with mushrooms. We moved into a house with two acres in Cocoa two years ago and that Christmas my parents got me a mushroom guide. Not many mushrooms in my yard anymore which is sad. Any ideas of some places to go hunting near me?

Is anyone here into foraging or want to learn more about it? I am thinking of creating a Florida foraging subreddit

I heard on the curative mushroom podcasts that you could use virex on substrate to fight contamination I didn't find anything on reddit about this & wonders if anyone tried or heard about this. I live in SE and have bugs 365 days a year

I’m in Florida I love mushrooms. Does anybody know of any foray groups or meet ups around
