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!
Had a fiancé once who work at FRI (forest research Institute) and I was used as the guinea pig for testing edible fungi. Around 90percent of Fungi are poisonous and the rest are edible. To me harvest and field mushrooms are the only ones worth eating. Shitake and others are just not worth the effort.
Q Why do Pixies and Dwarfs live in toad stools.
A Because there's not Mushroom inside
sorry
Sorry is just not good enough for that one :)
Thanks. To be on the safe side I ordered the books. I've always wanted to know what other than the bog standard field mushroom. My Italian father in law lives in Switzerland is passionate about collecting and cooking wild mushrooms. They taste incredible. If we have something close to porcini I'd be stoked.
Look for a VW Combi van with smoke coming out of it . Ask the long haired guy in the back with the purple pants , he will know .

Nah we haven't. Ended up ordering three books on NZ mushrooms. So hoping to be an expert in a week or two. I'm thinking mushroom and venison fettuccine in a cream sauce.

The bottom one looks like slippery jack, Quite nice indeed, sliced and the fried in some rendered duck fat. They generally grow beneath Pine and Spruce Trees.

I think you're right. That's a better photo than mine but it has that same sponge look underneath. They were a bit sticky on top. That may have bee because it was late afternoon by the time I came along. Thanks
Yep they are normally sticky on top thats normally.

We get a few horse mushrooms too
Iv eaten them in the past
A good sign if they're bug eaten I'd say :)
Pretty sure @Bill999 get em while there fresh obviously the slippery jacks ive cooked have all been quite a distinct mustard like colour underneath but that was in Australia could be slightly different over here.

I was using them in a restaurant scenario accompanying braised oxtail crepinette and celeriac puree. Clean them well with a soft bristled brush to remove dirt then scrape the tops or peel the 'top' layer if you feel the need. Slice about 10mm thick and fried in rendered duck fat ( bit of evoo and butter would do just fine.) Well seasoned S + P drain onto a clean tea towel or paper towel. and thats it. Hot and quick is the main objective. Get some nice colour on them.
