Hi all - as the heading... are these edible? I picked them in a local residential plot in a small forest..  I google them and come up with Field or Wood Mushroom... both edible..

[viettaclark]

Yummy! Lucky you! Yes....they are very edible.

[gavinjconway]

Thanks - do you have the name of them..

[mumofstig]

They're  Field Mushrooms - Agaricus campestris

The consequences of getting it wrong are potentially so serious that I'd want an expert opinion before trying them (but they do look like field mushrooms I must admit, and I am at least certain they're not death caps!)

They do look like field mushrooms but as a public forum we can't advise if they are edible or not, only give an opinion as to what they are.

I'll try a few tonight and let you know the outcome tomorrow..  I'f im still around..

I couldn't agree more.  Eat them at your own risk.

I've had a good look on a mushroom site and they resemble Yellow Stainers but they are not staining yellow when cut or bruised.. soooooooo hopefully i'll still be here tomorrow with an update!!

there isonly 1 you can mix this up eith and thats the yelloow stainer. When you cut the mushroom, always cut- never pull, your thumb will leave a mark on the cap -bright yellow!. If that mark is there its a yellow stainer. Bin it!

I have found 2 in 15 years of finding and eating mush!

95% sure is ont good eneough. With any wild mush you need to be 100%.

Hi and thanks... That is the info I found and no yellow staining found... I have had 2 and they were delicious - even If I burnt them a bit!!

[Ice]

Good luck.

If we don't hear from you again gavin --- I'll just say goodbye 

Actually they look just like the field mushrooms we pick most years in the school field and they are gorgeous to eat 

[compostqueen]

I wouldn't eat any mushroom on that basis.  I ate magic mushrooms given to me in good faith and had such screaming ab dabs I can't tell you

They were delish but it's just too risky.  Go out foraging with someone who knows what they are doing

A few hours have passed and still fell fit as a fiddle...
