1. Are these mushrooms safe to eat?

   September 3, 2010, 11:34 pm

   I'm new to mushroom hunting. I have 2 types of mushrooms growing in a clump on the ground by a small tree. The 1st kind is a bolete- large, brown on top, slimy, yellow spongy underside (Underside is white when they are young, top more olive-colored). 2nd is i believe a large brown chantrelle with big brown gills. I couldn't get a proper spore sprint from either- but the first seemed a bit yellowy-tan, and the second just a much of blackish-brown. What kind & R they safe 2 eat?

12. What are food foraging laws in the UK. Can i forage food and sell it online?

    I collect a lot of wild oysters from the sea during the summer for myself to eat. Also come autumn I collect a large amount of porcini (ceps) mushrooms. As I am able to find so many each year I was thinking of starting up an online business, advertising the sale of wild oysters and porcini mushrooms to sell in my local area. Are there any laws preventing me from doing this? Would I be able to setup an online business?
