Occasionally when channel surfing I stop on this show where these two people are foraging around some forest looking for mushrooms to sell to restaurants. I don't know anything about mushrooms except for the one I buy at the grocery store. This morning I noticed these growing next to my tree fern. Anyone know what they are and are they edible?

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

I think I know what they are, but I also follow the first rule of mushroom hunting: "If you're not absolutely certain you know what it is, just keep on walking"

So, yeah, i wouldn't eat that.

A lot of out-of-state mushrooms pop up in our yards due to the mulch we use. When the logs are brought through the forest on their way to the mill oftentimes they are dragged through colonies of mushrooms. The spores adhere to the wood and afterr chipping and bagging remain viable until they get to a yard that has just the right components ie., shade, moisture and just the right humidity. Don't eat unless absolutely certain.

I wouldn't eat them, period.

Mycologists are supposed to have the highest risk of mushroom poisoning. (I hope it's not true.)

Au contraire, Davey mon ami. Me heard that the United States' Asian population has the highest mortality rate. I personally have feasted like a gourmand on brown morels I've found in freshly mulched areas. Every Spring they pop back up. Mmmm, that reminds me....gotta go!

I love mushrooms, but, I would be sure and I mean absolutely sure before consuming. Got to be someone in your area to consult.

Every year usually during Spring on TV or in our newspapers we hear of someone or some entire family that either dies or ends up with medical problems from consuming mushrooms from the woods in our area. There is one type in particular out here that I think that gets confused with a poisonous one more than any other. I can't see ever wanting to risk my health over eating a mushroom of all things.

Debbie, your area is the one where the majority of poisonings take place, especially Golden Gate Park. The Amanita genus is the main culprit as some of the species resemble edible mushrooms. The fear that most people have about consuming wild mushrooms is a valid one although at times it borders on hysteria. As with any subject you're not familiar with, just ask, then learn how to differentiate.

Davey m'lad, if my liver could survive the 70's and 80's it'll survive anything. Garçon! Another side of fugu please!

Found out I get sick from Honey Mushrooms (wild), while the friend who shared them with me was fine. These were cooked. Not fun. Couldn't even look at a mushroom for a couple months without getting a headache and gagging.

That said, I love mushrooms, morels, fungus....

We usually have 8 or 10 shiitake logs going. LOVE shiitake mushrooms.
