Many years ago (mid 70’s) here in central CA an indian woman and her 4 kids went picking wild mushrooms in the foothills. They all suffered liver failure, 2 died, and one ended up with a liver transplant.
My dad says his mother would cook wild mushrooms with a silver dollar in olive oil and a cast iron skillet. If the silver dollar turned black, she would throw them out. I would never try such a stunt nowadays and would never advise anyone to try it.
We have large numbers of wild mustard greens around our house.

I’d advise to just forget about wild mushrooms. Mushrooms, I can live without.
