Edible and medicinal Fungi of the North of Adelaide
I’m listing Amanita muscaria on this page even though it can be toxic if ingested. It is first on this page to help folks learn to ID mushrooms because it is easily found and has clearly visible many of the features that are used for identifying them. Remember, it can be toxic if ingested.

(Rhizopogon species)
Horse Dung Fungus (inedible)

We are always learning about edible wild fungi. This link will take you to the new ones that we learned about and tried in 2021. They’re not included on this Wild Fungi page because it is for those we are 110% familiar with and can easily describe and share with you.
Note: It can be illegal to harvest from the wild without the appropriate permit or licence. Different councils, however, have different rules and regulations on the matter, so check with them before you go out. The Rangers at Mt. Crawford Forest DO NOT condone the foraging or harvesting of wild fungi.
