2 mushrooms hard to fuck up in America.
Chicken of the Forest.
Morels.
I remember selling like 5 lbs of morels when I was a kid and getting like $200. That was without even driving to the city to make the real money.
There are also mushrooms that look like morels that you shouldn't eat. Somewhat easy to filter out if you know what you're looking for but maybe wouldn't say hard to fuck up.
Can you show me some that would grow in the same areas next to dead elms? I'm unfamiliar with any and I've foraged for them a lot.
E: Looks like this has some info on False Morels further below. I'd have a difficult time mistaking one for the other myself but eh?

I think some people want to find morels so bad they get a sort of "buck fever" and convince themselves they've found one. That's all I can imagine because to my eyes they would be hard to mix up. Same with chanterelle and false chanterelle. Like... sure, I guess if you are profoundly incautious.
