"The Foolproof Four" are four excellent species to begin with. Their characteristics are easily identified, and easy to remember. The Foolproof Four are:
- Morels
- Chicken Mushroom
- Chanterelles
- Puffballs.
I usually add Oysters and Hen of the Woods or a general bolete.
Get two good field guides, before you go out learn how to use them and read through them to familiarize yourself with their use.
