Not any of the ones we eat. I'm cautious and experienced, we don't go
near anything that can be confused with something really nasty.

Picked what looks a lot like Suillus Luteus, except it's not growing near a
Scots pine, but birch instead, so it's probably a Leccinum of some kind, but
not one with a long slim stalk. Mone of those seem to listed as poisonous,
so I might risk it.

Was it a blewitt type mushroom you ran afoul of? The trouble with
blewitts is they can be confused with various Corinarius. And there are
a lot of them that will make you sick or even kill you.

Maybe you should have checked the mushroom with the neighbors!

There's one there now. I'm not going to eat it. unless I have serious

What, feed it to them first?


LOL! Good idea for the ones on my right hand side who forced me to pay 1400
because they refused to share the drop kerb and because they thought I' d
agree to them putting up 2 metre wall in front of my kitchen window.if
they blocked me in. I said no and they tried to block me in.
I have a mushroom book but I don't know the name of the mushroom that made
me ill. It looked just like a field mushroom and there is another one here
right now (and I'm not going to eat it!}

It looked exactly like a safe white mushroom that I could have got from the
fields. Except it was in my garden, that should have given me a clue. There
are some here now and I would not dream of eating them. Ever.again.
I'm not sure what they are, but I'm only going to use them to feed an enemy.
