I suspect they are honey fungus though I am not sure from those pictures. Honey fungus is good to eat providing it is cooked though there have been some reports of gastric upsets. It is very reckless to eat things you haven't properly idenitified. Please don't eat unless you are sure.

It certainly looks like it

This is a leccium of some kind, brown birch bolete or similar. The Lecciums can be difficult to ID exactly without further information (habitat, colour/bruising when cut etc). There are no poisonous lecciums. They are variable in taste, I tend to eat only the young firm brown birch boletes (and look...

looks like the prince mushroom (one of my favorite edibles). but need more info to be sure. The prince has white gills when just emerged, which turn pink and go brown when mature. They smell wonderful of marsipan to me (others report aniseed smell). Be sure of id before eating.

Of course, taste is subjective. Although there are undoubtedly better tasting mushrooms, I think small, firm, red cracking boletes are worth eating.

They look like red cracking boletes (boletus chrysenteron) to me.

The look like wood blewits to me. Exactly the same as the ones I collected this lunchtime. I hope you enjoyed your ones.

Agreed, these look like Prince mushrooms to me. They taste great and smell wonderful. One of my favourite mushrooms.

They are honey fungus. They are good to eat. The caps only are normally eaten as the stems are too firm and dry. They need to be well cooked (poisonous raw). There are some reports that they still cause mild poisoning even when cooked but there is unlikely to be a problem as they are sold in every m...

These definately do not look like FRC to me. FRC have wider spaced gills, longer thinner stems. The location is also wrong. They also don't look like the clitocybes mentioned either. However, I can't positively identify without further checking.

I'm afraid it isn't boletus edulis. It is a Leccinum, probably a brown birch bolete. They are edible, but I only use them when young and firm.

Although difficult to be sure from a picture, this is likely to be a common ink cap. If it is a common ink cap it is edible but not advisable because of adverse reactions when alcohol is consumed. Ink caps are also not good after the they turn black and inky as the one in the picture has started to ...

Hi all. Recently I've been interested in the idea of going fishing for my dinner. I've never done it before and have a few questions. Is it safe? I'm worried about eating anything wild in case it's polluted. What can you eat? Whats out there? I'm herts/beds border, what sort of thing can you find i...

A word of caution to anyone who might be reading this: Make sure your "pine tree" is really a pine before you go making tea from it! There's a tendency to lump all needled conifers together under the name of "pine", when it might be a spruce, a fir, a cedar, etc. There are some,...

This is a scarlet elf cup. It is suposedly edible (though fairly tasteless). This mushroom will not make you ill (although I suppose it is possible to have an allergic reaction to most things). Furthermore, just touching a mushroom won't poison you, the poisons are not easily absorbed through the sk...
