The two I mentioned are a good place to start; they are easy to recognize and there are no imposter species that are toxic (of the black trumpet). Plus, they are usually found together as they are loosely related, and found in the same spot year after year, and can even be reharvested after a few days.
I’m still nervous about the Bolete family, there are over 350 species that have many similar characteristics. So far I’ve only tried one and even still it made me anxious to eat.
