Before they go inky, these mushrooms can be eaten, but care must be taken that it is the right mushroom.

Sort:  

Cool. Are they tasty or do they intoxicate you?

Try liberty caps - around 50 or so cos they are pretty small - it's a truly spiritual experience - lasts about 4-5 hours - puts your whole life in perspective within the multiverse ;)

Cool. I have friends who are professionals but i never really got that far on em. Just dreamish.

I don't eat fungus so cannot tell yo. Apparently not intoxicating, meal mushrooms.

Doesn't matter - fresh or dried - stick them on a toasted bacon sandwich - aaah bacon :) make sure there aren't any clear plastic bags around, or you will be staring at it for a couple of hours LOL.

I think I am too uneducated in the types of toadstools around here to be game trying out any. If I had a reliable source, it might be a different matter, but one day, maybe.

Great pics buddy - Shaggy ink caps - Didn't know they were called Lawyers wig - a fitting name - corrupt and black the older they get :)

These were plentiful back in England - no real taste - and not much flesh... you need half a carrier bag full to do a meal.... Puff balls are a better option before they turn to jelly inside or blue buttons (wood blewits) this time of year - early winter.

Even better, these were in the lawns outside the High Court.

I did not realise these were the same as Shaggy Ink Caps, lol. Common names...

Coprinus comatus is more accurate.
