Even if you think you have identified it be cautious, positive ID can be
hard and there are some quite poisonous types that look much like edible
ones. If you really want to eat them start with a small bit and work up to
a plate full. Common symptoms of the inedible kind are burning mouth,
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. We harvest field mushrooms but nothing goes
into the pan unless two people are both sure it is correct. I don't know
the one in the pic but it isn't the common field mushroom found here.
