At least it’s illogical for me a tech writer:
The best way to learn about wild mushrooms is to go out with an expert or, better yet, a group of experts.
May-June Montana Outdoors, page 27
So is going out with an expert the best way or not? Maybe the writer is just being a bit (for me) too informal. Maybe it’s stream of consciousness.
How would you re-write the sentence?
Here’s a picture, from Google, of a type of mushroom pictured in the article.
Shaggy Mane. Edible.
