We have a local Trailmasters group. While they're mostly focused on volunteer service, mainly in our park, some of them engage in gardening and related activities. I've been looking into how much I could learn from them vs. how much time I'd spend on unrelated activities. Might be something similar to what you're suggesting.

The rationality I've observed in mycophiles is pretty closely connected to the fact that if you get lazy with your identification and screw up you can easily poison yourself. I don't think this generalizes to most outdoor activities.
