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.

I read somewhere this is how humans most likely learned what is good and bad to eat. Just need to see something else eating it and it's most likely good.
