If in doubt steer clear.
I agree - that white gilled mushroom looks scary.



Mushrooms are a super food -
an excellent source of nutrition.

Mushrooms don’t just taste nice. They also pack a nutritional punch as they are loaded with vitamins, promote a healthy immune system and boost your bone health. That’s why they are considered as a superfood. And for those looking for weight loss benefits, mushrooms contain no cholesterol or gluten either. Here are some of its scientifically proven benefits:

A study done by researchers at the University of Malaya in Malaysia found that including mushrooms in your diet can improve the health of your brain as it may enhance cerebral nerve growth and significantly cut the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s.


A team of Penn State researchers found that mushrooms are rich in antioxidants that could be used fight ageing and boost general health. The study suggests that mushrooms have high amounts of ergothioneine and glutathione, both important antioxidants, said Professor Robert Beelman.

Mushrooms are rich in Vitamin D. A deficiency of the vitamin can cause a slowdown of your metabolism.


They are high in beta-glucans which can fend off a cold by destroying disease-causing cells, and boost the immune system which has been weakened by chronic illness.

I love mushrooms but I'll stick with buying them at the supermarket or a mushroom farm in a box :lol:

It's handy to recognise the common field mushrooms.
I spent a lot of time picking them as a kid with my mother and family.
look at these - beautiful
and identical to the supermarket ones:

Sounds good:

Step 4: Harvest Mushrooms

Button mushrooms should appear within three to four weeks. Harvest them when the caps open and the stalk can be cut with a sharp knife from the stem. Avoid pulling up the mushrooms, or you risk damage to surrounding fungi that are still developing. Harvesting every day should result in a continuous crop for about six months.

Once you set up a mushroom growing station in your home, it's super easy to keep them growing. Eventually, you might need to add fresh spawn to grow more mushrooms, but as long as you keep the cloth damp and harvest the mushrooms as they appear, you should have a steady supply. Once you've got plenty, make sure to use them up in your favorite mushroom recipes within a few days of harvesting, since most will only keep for a few days in the fridge.

I found another one today.
I uploaded the pic to here:
https://fungusid.com/

And it gives 3 choices:
58.80% Tricholoma equestre

9.25% Tricholoma sejunctum

7.37% Lactarius volemus


They are all edible but it's not exactly the same as any of them.
I'm too scared to eat it.

The colour was wrong - it had gone green - so I re-adjusted it here:

I reckon it could be this one:

Tricholoma sulphureum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricholoma_sulphureum

Tricholoma sulphureum, also known as sulphur knight or gas agaric, is an inedible or mildly poisonous mushroom found in woodlands in Europe. It has a distinctive bright yellow colour and an unusual smell likened to coal gas. It occurs in deciduous woodlands in Europe from spring to autumn.

Found these today - on a grass field -
a very tiny mushroom only 21 mm across
and did a search for each picture here:
https://fungusid.com/

Image
25.00% Hygrocybe conica
20.64% Psilocybe semilanceata
8.74% Panaeolus foenisecii

Pic too large:
https://i.ibb.co/HxW8FwD/Orange-mushroom-unknown.jpg

6.20% Mycena leaiana
5.94% Hypomyces lactifluorum
5.32% Pholiotina rugosa

As you can see there is not a definite strike.
The ones that the artificial intelligence picks
are not growing on open grass land but on wood.
