mushroom identification
When the mist cleared this morning, there were no gorillas.
Only 'shrooms.
With the garden bed rebuilt with a tonne of mushroom compost the odd fungi popping up is inevitable.
Can anyone tell me what they are and whether they are safe to eat?

Okay, looking in my field guides, they look to be in the genus Conocybe. Without seeing their spores or their undersides, it's not possible to give a species ID.
Please don't eat them, Gill. I have no idea about their toxicity, but with mushrooms, the rule is without a certain ID, don't. :)
Thanks Margaret.
Agree with Margaret's advice. You can get then identified at the Royal Botanical Gardens by the resident mycologists.
Yeah, take it to the expert. Trust me, you don't wanna be eating shrooms that you don't know!
Will take a better look at the spores next time they pop up. But yes, I have don't eat policy when it comes to 'shrooms of unknown origin.
do not eat. X X Alice
Odd how, in the depths of winter, they look like little straw umbrellas on a Caribbean beach.
