Nick has gone mushroom hunting in the grass outside the front of the
house. This is a photo of the bowl he picked:

They are white, yellow markings where damaged or apparently sunburnt.
The gills are pink. They seem to be growing in a big circle, on grass,
with no bits below the soil level

There are also lots of other types, including some huge flat ones with
dark gills, which I thought were mature versions of this one, but they
do appear to be different.

We're /fairly/ sure they're safe, as one of our neighbours eats them!
But mushrooms still scare me when they're not from the supermarket. :-(

Any thoughts?

Be careful, I ate one from my garden a while back, sure it was OK. It
wasn't. I spent many hours on the toilet and was lucky it didn't kill me.
I thought I knew, but I obviously didn't.
I'd never take a risk with what pops up in my garden or outside my house
again. I nearly turned inside out.
I do know a field mushroom when I see one, but anything else is too risky.
Supermarket mushrooms R me now. Never again. :-(
