Hedgehog mushrooms are one of the safest edible wild mushrooms because they have few lookalikes, and none are dangerous. They're also super yummy, which is a nice bonus! There are quite a few hedgehog mushroom species in North America, and all of them are edible. However, some taste better than others, and you do have to watch out for bitter ones. They won't hurt you, but they will ruin a dish in a flash!
