i grow mushrooms outside and do some foraging.

if a mushroom is covered in bugs it's probably edible. centipedes, fungus gnats, and slugs are all common on my outdoor beds.

there are a few edible fungi i don't see bugs eat, like meatier varieties such as shiitake and saddle backs, but i have never seen bugs go after poisonous fungi

some bugs will eat psychedelic fungi just like some animals will. but there tends to be less predation with them.

Uhm, flies go after fly agaric.

And fly agaric isnt very poisonous, as long as it’s dehydrated
