That is until you realize there was another mushroom that looks just like the one you were looking for that kills you... which is the point of the post

So, if we just learn one that DEFINITELY DOES NOT have an evil twin, we should be good?

That’s chicken of the woods, named for its flavor. If you see something that makes you say “that looks like chicken of the woods” it’s because it’s chicken of the woods.

Not sure that's what was happening anyway.

How about when you are the first person to discover there IS a deadly lookalike to chicken of the woods?

I get your point but yeah - mushrooms are not going to be my goto if I'm stranded in the woods, and it sounds like they really shouldn't be the goto of anyone not already an experienced mushroom forager before they end up stranded in the woods.

This is the Rhynoplaz Mushroom, named after the forager that discovered it. It causes you to bleed out of every orifice at once.
