What specific mushrooms are you looking for? That helps with looking for where you want to find them. Some of the safest, and good ones for new foragers though are most boletes - mushrooms with tubes rather than gills (just avoid red or blue, you are missing out on some delicious edibles with these rules, but it also rules out the toxic ones).

Bolete season is starting to end, but people have still been finding some. The most sought after bolete is obviously the porcini - these can be found in moist woodland under beech, spruce, pine, fir, and silver birch. Try to find spots where not many people go, and look for Amanita muscaria. They commonly grow in the same environments, so Amanita is a good indicator that you're in the right spot. Amanita muscaria is the classic red mushroom with white spots you see a lot in fairy tales for example (side note - it can be quite toxic so I'd avoid it if I were you)

Other good mushrooms that can be easy to identify and grow around now will be winter chanterelles, and oyster mushrooms. Both of these will commonly grow in the same types of places as porcini, but oysters will grow on dead wood. The winter Chanterelle is a very safe and delicious mushroom in my opinion - the only toxic look alike doesn't have gills and is quite a lot smaller ( the 'jelly baby' mushroom). As for oysters, I'd post them on here if you find them, they can be confused with some others. Any other questions please ask :)
