      How does one find a mycology forum or club without falling prey to SEO optimized AI generated results? AI isn’t just generating books, they can write fake web pages for non-existent clubs and fake entire forums and optimize the hell out of the SEO to maximize positioning on Google’s search results.

        Ask the people living in the area. They know the mushrooms and eventually they know where to go to have them checked.

          Exactly, and then keep doing that over and over again until you either dig through enough garbage to find the good source or just throw your hands in the air and give up trying to find good sources and either give up the hobby all together or say fuck it and go at it alone.
