I'm sorry, I disagree. "Looks like a field mushroom with white gills"
includes quite a lot of nasties. There are some deadly Amanitas of that
description, as already noted. But there are also Inocybes, Clitocybes,
and Entolomas. Both Inocybe erubescens and Clitocybe rivulosa have
caused death. Fortunately Entoloma has an unpleasant smell/taste, so
you are unlikely to eat that one by mistake.
OK. And just how many of those have a ring but no volva?
Why on earth did you think that I asked about that before posting?

Nick Maclaren.
