I would not like to advise you whether or not it is poisonous.

I wouldn't be trying it even if I was 99.9% sure. One day I may try the
mushrooms that grow out there because they're definitely field

She could wash them.
I had several parasol mushrooms growing under my lilac trees, and I googled
them - they seemed to be safe to eat, but I didn't dare, in case I got the
