Sophia Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 There was a very good book in Auckland City library about mushrooms, your library might also have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Looks like a nice tasty mushroom to me. I thought it was the pretty coloured ones that tended to be poisonous. I pick similar looking ones in the reserve next door and they cook up nicely. Have a look here and see if you can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 If they are pink or brown underneath and they peal I eat them. I had some this morning, from the park over the road, for breakfast that look identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markvs Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 The colour does not look quite right to me, also a picture of the gills underneath would help, as their colour is important. If it is not like the bought ones, then no eaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 The bought ones are so unrelated that they cannot cross with the wild ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 That picture is of a death cap. You can see the remains of the cap at the top of the stalk. Yours do not have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
