Mushroom advice require

[Two on Tour]

Will these ones kill me or are they good eating.
They average about 4" across.

 

[mike mcglynn]

If you ate a few of those you won’t have mushroom for anything else

 

[Vipar]

My fist wife died from eating poison mushrooms

My second wife died from eating poison mushrooms

Third wife died from a hammer blow to the head.

She wouldn’t eat the mushrooms

 

[davidbaldam]

Standard answer all fungi are edible some only once.

 

[Cheshirecat57]

Get them eaten and post back and let us know ( or not and we will still know)

Does this help Wild Mushrooms

Pretty pink gills.

Looks similar to Agaricus bernardii in my book but I'm no expert.

They look like Field Mushrooms to me, but looking for conformation or somebody to blame if they are not and we are poisoned.

Where was it growing? If in grass you are probably safe if it smells like a normal mushroom and the stem doesn't stain yellow when cut. If it goes yellow it is likely to be the Yellow Stainer which is poisonous.. Another fungi staining yellow is Agaricus pilatianus which is rare and also poisonous but it smells and tastes unpleasant. These are the only two with pink gills I know of which are poisonous.

The book Mushrooms by Roger Phillips is highly recommended if you want to forage for fungi.

Thought I'd add this photo.

Looks tasty doesn't it?

Its Agaricus pilatianus and is poisonous.

Bon appetit!

They are growing in grass John, and when the stem is cut it's a dark pink-ish colour and they defiantly smell of shop bought mushrooms, but stronger.

Shroomyfy app!

 

[jockaneezer]

I can recommend this book for first timers.

 

[Taran_Las]

Why not go foraging to Tescos.

It's a lot safer ​

I would probably eat them if I'd found them. They look fine assuming smell OK and no yellow stains.

But I'm not there myself so don't take my word. You need to be sure yourself.

I have a rule of not eating any fungi unless I've positively identified the species and confirmed it from another source. The usual pattern is to identify it from a book then confirm that by looking the species up online and looking at more images and descriptions.

[Ledzep]

Oh thought they were flyagarics not that it matters. But if you eat you’ll be going on a trip!

 

[Phileas Dog]

Amazing. Growing in local churchyard, stunning colour.

 

[Gaston aires]

I have a rule which is if you don’t know, don’t eat them.
last year I played golf with a buddy and we came across some normal looking mushrooms. Picked some to eat.
Phone call from friends wife , don’t eat those mushrooms ! Ray did and is really ill. Three days of intense discomfort.

[Gillygrim]

If you can't smell them and can't taste them you've probably got CV 19 so enjoy them while you can.......

DON'T!!! My partners cousin and his son are in intensive care after eating wild Mushrooms. They are experienced mushroom foragers.

 

[Realist]

Stick to shop mushrooms I would rather be safe than sorry and they don’t cost the earth but eat one wrong one and your soon under the earth for good.

 

[TDub49]

Golden rule of foraging - if you are not sure what it is and and don't have a tame expert on hand to identify it for you, don't eat it.

Years ago when I was a nipper, I was up on one of my families farms in Ayrshire for the school holidays. We woke one morning and my Auntie asked us to go and pick some mushrooms in one of her fields, where the cows grazed.
My cousins & I went out and picked the largest, freshest flat mushrooms I have ever seen, we filled a carrier bag in minutes, they were literally everywhere in the field.
Being young none of us questioned it, we picked them, my auntie made mushroom soup, we had them in fry ups for days. I wonder how she knew they were OK , must ask her one day, but they were excellent at the time.

I did the same at that age. If you knew the right fields to go to it wasn't too hard to get a good harvest.

The risk was zero - generations had been collecting mushrooms from the same fields without mishap.
