Lots of 'shrooms here in the forest but how risky is eatin' them?

Some of the edible wild mushrooms are very tasty. I've had Morels, and I'm quite fond of Citronellas. i don't go out myself, since I am not knowledgable enough to do it safely. There have been attempts to grow Morels with only mediocre success. Pity.

the question is, will you survive?
I'm no where near trained enough to try to find edibles with one exception. In April we get Morels and they're a unique shape and quite easy to identify.

There IS a "false morel" which can be a danger to a few, but those who have seen/eaten true morels aren't likely to mistake them.
Boletes? They're spongy under the cap instead of having gills. I could be wrong, but I have not found evidence of ANY varieties with this characteristic that are toxic. I have CERTAINLY found evidence from personal consumption that they can be downright tasty!
Identifying edible mushrooms is not a task to be attempted without serious study. Most fungi produce a variety of toxins (mycotoxins) some of which are very potent and are particularly damaging to the liver! I have seen cases where one meal resulted in a liver transplant! Others may just make you barf your guts out. Search Google, there's lots of info:-)
