Experts warn that using Google Images for mushroom identification can lead foragers to misidentify toxic varieties as edible, posing serious health risks.
Professor David Hawksworth stated, 'This is potentially extremely dangerous,' highlighting the risks associated with AI-generated images in identifying mushrooms.
MycoMutant expressed concern, explaining that the AI-generated images found in searches do not resemble the actual mushroom species, leading to dangerous misidentifications.
Despite warnings from experts, many continue to pick mushrooms without proper identification methods, increasing the chances of consuming toxic varieties inadvertently.
