can anyone here Identify these Mushrooms please?
Discussion
as per title
shook the bucket a bit for a clearer view
I'm not interested in eating them...I was always taught "if not 100% with any mushrooms don't touch them"
I just wondered what they were
I cleared these few from the corner of one of our paddocks (using a Bush hook, to cut and then fling them into bucket) as the Dog was showing an interest...they are now bagged and binned

Not worth it would be my advice....
A few weeks ago in the Times there was an article from the chap who authored the Horse Whisperer. To cut a long story short he and his wife along with another 2 couples picked what they thought were edible mushrooms, fried them up and ate the lot. The next day they felt sick and went back to the wood and picked some more to look up on the web, found them to be deadly and went to A&E and dialysed as the toxin released is damaging to the kidneys. They now have no renal function and are currently on the renal transplant list.
A truely shocking story, in the article his sense of guilt for inflicting the sentence on his pals is quite overwhelming.
IMHO just buy them, or do a degree in mycology first.

I was more worried about the Dog eating them TBH

You don't need a degree in mycology - just pick those which are easiest to identify and never eat anything you're uncertain about.A few weeks ago in the Times there was an article from the chap who authored the Horse Whisperer.
