Default mushrooms

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

Only by identifying them precisely as to which species they are. There
aren't any general rules that say 'these mushrooms are good, these are
poisonous" If you're interested, there are a lot of 'fungus forays'
being run atm - you could go along and meet some mushroom experts, then
perhaps join a local group and start learning a few edible species which
are quite distinctive and not eay to confuse with anything poisonous.
