Are you eating them Bobby?

Are you eating them Bobby?

I'm too scared as I can't positively identify any except for those ordinary ones.

The chocolate brown ones here were OK but not the whiter one -
So I have eaten some like that. (the browner ones)



But see the yellow stain on the middle one here?
A yellow stain is not OK so I wouldn't eat that.

Be careful handling them which I'm sure you are.

Be careful handling them which I'm sure you are.

Thanks - it's tricky to identify them.
Look at the examples above -
only a lighter colour and a yellow stain identifies bad ones.
The yellow stain can also appear on the stem immediately after cutting.
The yellow stain ones won't kill you but they say that
you can get very sick in the guts for 2 days.

Another one today.
All 4 pictures are of the same mushroom.
Unfortunately it's a yellow stainer -
a yellow stain appears when it's rubbed with a thumb nail
and it smells of chemicals instead of a nice mushroom smell.

same as this one here:
Agaricus silvicola

The one above is actually a Yellow staining mushroom (Agaricus xanthodermus).

I found another kind of small mushroom today
and it looks poisonous to me.

When checking the answers on this site
https://fungusid.com/
the closest seems to be the

Kingdom: Fungi
Division: Basidiomycota
Class: Agaricomycetes
Order: Agaricales
Family: Tricholomataceae
Genus: Clitocybe


The consumption of two species, Clitocybe acromelalga from Japan,[7] and Clitocybe amoenolens from France,[8] has led to several cases of mushroom-induced erythromelalgia which lasted from 8 days to 5 months.[9]
Clitocybe odora

Many small Clitocybe species contain the toxin muscarine, which was originally found in small amounts in the famous fly agaric. However, the small white Clitocybe species contain muscarine in dangerous amounts, and two species in particular, the closely related Clitocybe dealbata and Clitocybe rivulosa, contain muscarine in such amounts that
deaths have been recorded for eating those two Clitocybe species.

Keep them away from your cat, Bobby.

Keep them away from your cat, Bobby.

The cat that lives here lives along way away from
where I found those little mushrooms - under a group of trees in a park.
It seems to me that mushrooms are almost always too hard to identify properly.
The white gilled ones today are a good example -
almost certainly poisonous but a good topic for debate.

I don't know enough about them to eat any I may come across.
