Did you try it?
I ate one last night - the one pictured -
the Kangaroo Apple -
and I'm still here today so it wasn't poisonous.
They taste very nice and sweet.
You're not out of the woods yet

Symptoms occur 6 to 24 hours after eating and include nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. The toxin can fatally harm the liver and kidneys, and death can occur within 48 hours. Other mushrooms that have a similar effect to the death cap include some species of Galerina, Lepiota and Conocybe.

A friend of mine is a genius and he found it:

SOUTHERN KANGAROO APPLE
(Solanum laciniatum)

Fruit - raw or cooked, must be thoroughly ripe because unripe fruit is poisonous. It can be used as a sweet fruit or as a vegetable. Fruit is sickly sweet and often bitter.

Specifications of Kangaroo Apple

An attractive small shrub with purple flowers, that are follow by bright orange to red fruits that are edible when fully ripe, but caution should be taken with them as they are poisonous when green. It gets its name from the shape of the lobed leaves which resemble the shape of a kangaroo foot. Found on rainforest margins, it makes an excellent pioneer. Kangaroo apple also make a good rootstock for grafting other solanums onto such as eggplants and tamarillos.

I wish I was there.
I bought a nice large brown bottomed mushroom tonight.
Those are the most tasty ones.

Ordinary looking field mushrooms were there today.
These ones were out on grass fields and looked
exactly the same as supermarket mushrooms.

Then there are also plenty of Kangaroo Apples.

OK - I found some more wild mushrooms today
and a wild Rosemary bush.
I checked on Google images & I can't find this mushroom variety.
Is this edible?

I went back to the same site and some of the mushrooms had flattened out -
which means they are showing their gills
for the next stage of their life cycle.
They don't look poisonous at all?

All my friends are too scared to eat them -
they say that I could die but they look
like ordinary field mushrooms.
They were about 3 meters from a gum tree on a grass field.
Here's a close up.
