I have another question please - there are many mushroooma growning in
my garden where I took away trees - can I eat these also under the
hedges there are different ones which look like big shop white ones,
they do not have the look of poison, how can I tell if they are safe to
eat

If in doubt, don't eat them, would be my advice. You can find books that
identify mushrooms and in France, most small towns and villages have someone
in the pharmacie that can do that, too. Without such expert advice I'd be
extremely cautious.

Thanks I have a book but its not much use, they look the same as
harmless ones and the book says that not many are nasty
