Merri Fungi - Can I eat it?
Channel: FunFungi Ecology
Date: 08/06/2020

Foraging for food is fun and gets you out in your local environment but people need to take care developing their identification skills. Sapphire points out some of the characteristics of the toxic Yellow Stainer Mushroom. These are now common in the Parks adjoining the Merri Creek.

Friends of Merri Creek is working with Sapphire from Fungi4Land to help raise awareness about fungi as part of healthy landscape management.

Thanks to Thespina for volunteering her time to make the videos.
