Mushroom - safe to eat?

If you know how to forage then fair enough. But if you're having to ask a football message board whether the mushroom is poisonous, well then you're probably safer off buying some quinoa and avocado.i_b_b_o_r_g said:

I don't know but I think it might be this, in which case don't eat it:

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.

i shouldn't think there's mushroom for anything else.mistrollingin said:Slip into Sue's trough at half time tomorrow and see what happens.

So... did you eat it?0

I love mushrooms but as they cost a quid a punnet I cannot understand why anyone would take the risk of eating something they picked up on a walk unlless they were an expert. I'm boring I know!0

You shouldn't eat it because it's an innie.
They should be formed the opposite way "outlies"

Highly unlikely that this species would have found its way to New Zealand from the Northern hemisphere.Stig said:I don't know but I think it might be this, in which case don't eat it:

I would say that most (if not all) mushrooms in New Zealand would be entirely indigenous as they are so far from the nearest landfall......to find the answer you'd clearly have to ask a local who knows what they are talking about.....no way would you gamble on the outcome.
If nothing else Danepak,try to find out and let us know, as I'm sure some of us would like to know the answer.1 -
Czechs are great mushroom seekers. I showed it to my wife and after coming out with @i_b_b_o_r_g s gag ( not an original apparently) she pronounced it both old and dodgy. But she may have been talking about me.3

Not only do the likes of chanterelle completely disprove your theory but mushrooms like the one pictured are at a mature stage. The have grown all the way through from an unopened cap (your more typical looking mushroom) to an open cap, the gills will also have changed colour to the chocolate brown it is now.Robbo on the wing said:You shouldn't eat it because it's an innie.

Mushrooms are a big deal here in Yunnan, some of the things I see at the market look insane, sadly, every mushroom season people die from eating some kind of mushroom that turned out to be toxic.
My friends wife got really ill last year having eaten a mushroom she thought she'd been eating all her life, it was in fact a slightly different strain, which made her really sick.
Be careful, don't fuck around with mushrooms.0 -
There's not mushroom for error0

Nah, in the bin it went. I guess I'm not that adventurous after all.0

Got this response:SoundAsa£ said:
Can't you at least find out the name.....and also if it's poisonous, you have the picture?Danepak said:Nah, in the bin it went. I guess I'm not that adventurous after all.
This looks to be a field mushroom but I don't recommend eating any that have been found in urban habitats. Mushrooms have a habit of concentrating heavy metals.

From a Magic Mushroom forum (the only one that turned up, when I searched for mushroom forum), where they happened to have a section for non mindfucking mushrooms, I got the following:
It is upturned in that fashion due to extreme maturity. Usually you would smell an unidentified Agaricus species as part of the road to determining it's edibility, but that mushroom probably doesn't smell very fresh no matter what it is!0 -
Mmmmm......interesting but it seems like they didn't actually name it?0

Sorry, got this response too from the Magic Mushroom site:
Something like Agaricus campestris a.k.a. the field mushroom imo. Nice and tasty, really similar to the mushrooms you buy in the supermarket.
The only poisonous lookalike is Agaricus xanthodermus, or 'the yellow stainer.' The base turns a strong yellow colour when cut, and it apparently smells kind of like a fresh band-aid. I've never come across one in all my mushroom hunting.0 -
Thanks for that.....all the best.1
