Mushrooms?

[BurtL]

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.
