⚠️ SAFETY FIRST
Mycopedia is a strict educational and research guide and never encourages wild mushroom foraging. Identification relies on trusted sources and community consensus, not automated scanning. Never eat any mushroom you cannot identify with certainty: always check the danger badge and confirm with a certified local expert.
