Mushrooms? - BurtL - 08-21-2022
Anyone recognize these? If they are edible you are welcome to them. If they are deadly I appreciate the info. There are more. Here or text; 72O 272 8O3l

Hi Burt, I sent your picture to a friend:
Agaricus species. Some edible, some not. Those that aren’t are usually not super toxic. They are hard to identify and often need a spore print to see spore color. Novices shouldn’t bother
Hope that helps!

Thank you for taking some time to research this. There were so many looking the same I thought it was the final form but the ones we missed actually popped out to a more tradition mushroom look. Undersides were a light pink.

I took a mycology course way back in the last millennium, and my professor was repeatedly and profoundly adamant:
If you don't precisely KNOW what the species of mushroom is, NEVER eat it.
Guessing a mushroom's identity, regardless of how much it looks like a safe-to-eat mushroom, can be deadly. And too often has been.
Happy (and SAFE) Hunting!

Oh - such risk averse people - you can eat any species of mushroom - ONE TIME.
