Thread: Wild Mushrooms?

Hey guys,
The missus was wandering the farm and started picking a bunch of mushrooms. Has anyone had experience picking mushrooms and knowing if they're edible or not?

I love mushrooms but I don't fancy eating something that might kill me or make me very sick







There's heaps more out there but these are the two or three main species we can see.

Only ones i know of that are edible arnt featured there sorry.

Yum yum yum eat them up
Those black ones are just older.
I hope we get some if it ever rains...

You still not getting any rain Brads? It's been pissing down up in Auckland. Everything's gone green again.

I'm not gonna tuck into them just yet until a few more people confirm.

Huh? I don't know what you're on about Wirehunt.
I'm genuinely just after a bit of info. I grew up being told not to just eat mushrooms out of the ground because they might be poisonous. I got no idea which is which.

my understanding is as long as they are brown on the underside they are sweet, I have been pigging out on them for the last week

Well i know for a fact you wont be howling at the moon and circling the house in the nude after those ones!!!

Ah ok. I asked some of the guys on a US based forum I'm on too as I know a bunch of those guys do it every year, but they don't look like our mushrooms (they were a bit orange).

Some of these have a pink underside, but they just look like smaller ones of the bigger brown variety. Baby ones.

I only see one not and thats" enough"
