I don't need to know the specific area, but where are you guys getting these mushrooms?

This is something that I always wanting to do.
I got two books about wild mushroom in route.

I was exciting when I got my first oyster mushroom batch last week down the Nisqually.
I swore they were edibles but was scared as hell about them. So I took some to give to a friend who has a friend who know a few things about wild mushrooms. She gave me the OK so I ate some. The freaky part was that I came down with the fleu a few days before I ate those mushrooms and just right after I ate those mushrooms, my fleu sympthoms got real bad. I was very confused and became really paranoid not knowing if my illness was just the fleu or the mushrooms.
