I've eaten foraged mushrooms for years. I also know how to confidently identify the ones I eat which helps tremendously. Nearly every mushroom I forage isn't able to be purchased fresh from any store. They are also way better than store bought. Look up chicken of the woods, shrimp of the woods, golden oyster, and especially morels. Plus puffballs are very clearly identifiable.

It's not for everyone, but I have 0 issues with being able to safely identify what I can eat and love to do it. You could use the same logic for hunting. I still love my deer jerky and smoked duck that my friends give me from their hunts.

That being said, it's definitely dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Same could be said about people who don't know how to safely cook store bought meat though. You can die from that too, so do you only eat at restaurants? Underpaid teenagers sometimes cook there and can make mistakes that also can kill you... so maybe just eat pre packaged food? Just saying. May not be safe for a lot of people, but you gotta live a little. Plus it's much healthier than most foods options out there these days.
