Death camas and wild onion are not easy to tell apart. Chanterelles and morels can be identified safely and easily by beginners by looking at a few key features. Neither should use an app to ID.

You missed the word "typically". I well know that there are exceptions.

I read it, just don’t agree on the generalization. I think it’s more that there’s a cultural phobia of fungi, and not really that they’re harder to ID safely than plants.

As somebody who forages for both, I can confidently say that you are unfortunately incorrect. Just read up a little bit on the modern history of mycology and you will learn that experts can't even identify one fungi from another without looking at its DNA in many cases.
