Genuine question.
Wifey found this by the lake yesterday.
Safe to eat without getting sick/going cuckoo?
Can't seem to find a mushroom online which looks like this one.
Approx 4 inch diameter.

    Eat it and let's us know. If you don't make further comment we will know it wasn't safe.

    Or better still, get your wife to do it.
  • Might be a magic one, eat it and Roland might disappear.

    You're going to take advice from the weirdos who post on here about eating a mushroom your wife found by a lake?
  • I wouldn't try it
  • Can't beat a good old fried mushroom, what you going to have it with Danepak? How about bacon?.

    I would have said it was a horse mushroom and safe to eat

    Definitely give you the trots if it goes yellow when scraped, otherwise looks like a field mushroom. I collect mushrooms and just make sure i know the deadly ones and stick to the ones i can positively identify. Smell of iodine is a good clue to avoiding.

    Serious question, why take the risk? What could the possible pay-off be for potentially poisoning yourself?

    Unless you really want the magic sort I don't see it as a worthwhile thing to do.
    Sainsburys is where I pick mushrooms

    Have you tried a mushroom fried in butter.

    Well worth every bit of the heart attack.

    Hence the question.
    What's wrong with eating something perfectly fine, found growing in the free. Or are we living in a world where we rather prefer to pop down to the local supermarket, spending our money on mass produced stuff?

    Forgive me if I'm missing something, but isn't there a fundamental flaw in asking a forum where the majority of contributors live in England about the culinary safety of a fungus growing in New Zealand?

    That advice works for women too.
