We love mushrooms ... I sure hope these are edible !

Here's the link to my photobucket mushrooms album

Even if a number of people who post here swear on a stack of bibles
that they are safe to eat, I'd still be wary given how toxic some
mushrooms can be.

I pick and eat field mushrooms but even then I'm wary given that there
have been a number of deaths in near proximity to where I live form
mushroom poisoning.

Do you have any higher education institutes near you where there might
be a mycologist on staff?

We eat field mushrooms too. Only if two of us have no doubt about the
identity, one person has any doubts - out.

:-)) We use exactly the same system. We had a bumper crop here out in
the paddocks just a couple of months ago - large cane shopping baskets
full of them and they were delicious.
