I found these on the edge of a farm paddock under pines. Two types of mushroom. Anybody know if either variety is edible or should I chuck 'em?

Chuck em, not worth the risk, I had a heap of those in Taupo, mowed them in.
My rule is eat em if they a
Look the right colour and you can peel them easy, but I've only lived to 64 so far!
I have been wondering about the yellow top ones as well. See heaps of them in the Riverhead forest. I reckon they are edible as I have seen Eastern European folk picking the same mushrooms in the Woodhill forest.
Trust no advise when it comes to mushrooms under trees
If you've never seen one in the shop...
Eat one Rushy and post the result! If we hear nout we will consider #1 rule is still in place!:D
I personally wouldn't eat any mushroom under pines locally,your pic is a bit small and I don't feel qualified to comment other than if in doubt throw it out.
There are many species of edible mushrooms besides your common field mushroom but many edible look remarkably similar to ones that could either kill you or leave you with a life long disability from just one bite.
Google is your friend , If you can manage to watch this guy(I only skimd it) he seemed to know what he is on about.

white spores= bad, blue spores really bad.
Dry the gold tops out and send them to me and I will destroy them!
