New Scientific Field Guide Coming Soon
Our Conservation Research Unit is putting the final touches on a new scientific field guide...
Death Cap Mushroom!
Hidden among the forests and fields is a deceivingly dangerous mushroom - the Death Cap. With its harmless appearance resembling edible field mushrooms, it has tragically led to many fatalities over the centuries.
This potent fungus serves as a reminder that mushroom foraging is not a casual activity. Always seek guidance from knowledgeable experts to avoid misidentification and ensure safety.
At Grootbos Foundation, we celebrate nature’s wonders while highlighting the importance of caution and education. Admire mushrooms like the Death Cap from afar - they’re fascinating but definitely not for the pot!
