Mushroom names or Toad Stools? Pics!

[braggscowboy]

In Oklahoma, if one does not know enought about a mushroom, then it is a toad stool! Lots of rain and lots of these. Someone can tell me what they are and if they are edible? Not that I am going to eat, just wondering if safe? Thanks!

I'm not a huge mushroom expert, but I'd say can't easily tell from those pictures, so just leave 'em alone. Of course, I'm one of those "only eat the unmistakables" types . . . may have missed some king boletes here on my own property because I wasn't sure of them . . .

Until you are personally trained in mushroom identification, don't eat ANY of them. Don't take recommendations from folks on the internet. The consequences of a mistake are too great.

Not even considering eating them. Would not, even if someone said they are good. Morels I have eaten and they were harvested in Kansas. About the only thing I eat from the wild, climbs or runs fast through the woods.

Nope - don't eat them. We have taken several mushroom classes plus a botany class but we only eat one type around here. Even though others may be edible, like Alice said above, until you are for sure, just don't eat them.

Yes, I also agree with above: don't listen to folks on the internet either!

Here's something I tell most mushroom hunting novices, "Just because they look like store bought mushrooms, don't mean they're edible. In fact, the opposite is probably true." In other words, almost all mushrooms we pick and eat look like something most people would just pass up and not give them a second thought simply because they don't look like store mushrooms.

Wouldn't touch one of them.

Those all look like toadstools to me.
