If you're lost in the woods, it's a bad idea to eat wild mushrooms. They're mostly water, and the small amount of calories they might provide are unlikely to be worth the risk, no matter how confident you are in identification. I'd go as far as to say that any foraging of wild food is a dangerous distraction from your more important task of escape.
