The first picture is of edible field mushrooms -
Here:

the other 2 pics almost certainly show poisonous toadstools.
The video is really good .
If you scrape the field mushroom with a thumbnail –
If it bruises and immediately turns yellow or blue it’s poisonous.
Also you smell them.
They should smell like mushrooms not chemicals.
Also – underneath  - the gills should be tan to brown in color.
The older the mushroom the browner they get.
Those field mushrooms pass all tests.

My Mother used to take all the kids in the family mushrooming.
We used to get bucket fulls from farms – field mushrooms.
I am going to eat the field mushrooms.
If I stop posting you'll know I didn't survive.  LOL

I ate 8 of those field mushrooms 2 nights ago -
they were delicious.

There are even more field mushrooms than before today.
I picked some of them but I also found a group
of large tall mushrooms under a pine tree.
I picked one and photographed it here.
I can't tell whether it's a safe  shaggy parasol as per here:

or a death cap as per here:

They are very hard to identify.
Does anyone know?

The 3 pics above - in my last post -
are all of the same mushroom.
It has white gills which is a bad sign -
it was also NOT growing in a field but
under a Pine tree -
another bad sign.
It does have a nice mushroom smell and
it doesn't bruise yellow or blue -
but it looks too close to the same as a death cap
for me to risk eating it - I would think.

Mushrooms are a super food  -
an excellent source of nutrition.

Mushrooms don’t just taste nice. They also pack a nutritional punch as they are loaded with vitamins, promote a healthy immune system and boost your bone health. That’s why they are considered as a superfood. And for those looking for weight loss benefits, mushrooms contain no cholesterol or gluten either. Here are some of its scientifically proven benefits:

A study done by researchers at the University of Malaya in Malaysia found that including mushrooms in your diet can improve the health of your brain as it may enhance cerebral nerve growth and significantly cut the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.


A team of Penn State researchers found that mushrooms are rich in antioxidants that could be used fight ageing and boost general health. The study suggests that mushrooms have high amounts of ergothioneine and glutathione, both important antioxidants, said Professor Robert Beelman.

Mushrooms are rich in Vitamin D. A deficiency of the vitamin can cause a slowdown of your metabolism.


They are high in beta-glucans which can fend off a cold by destroying disease-causing cells, and boost the immune system which has been weakened by chronic illness.

It might be hard to grow your own as mycelium
has critical temperatures and soil water content
when it makes mushrooms.

That's why we only usually see mushrooms for a few weeks in Autumn and a few weeks in Spring.
