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. |

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! -E No it was a white mushroom in my garden , looked fine, obviously wasn't . There's one there now. I'm not going to eat it. unless I have serious constipation. which I haven't. Eat one of those and sh+t through the eye of a needle. No. don't eat one :-( |

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!} |

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. |
