Can You Eat Them or Not.

I have mushrooms growing rampant in my front yard,
never had this here before, I got outside today to take some pictures.

These are actually pretty huge,

and this is what they look like underneath,

so I say to myself, I wonder if these are edible,
or if they are poisonous, or is there even such a thing,
I know they are not magic, because I have been making wishes all day,
and nothing has happened.
lol
I would not want any mind altering drugs,
I just want some mushrooms to go with a salad,
Does anyone know how to tell good ones from bad ones,
or do you recommend I just go off to a store and buy some there.
.....................
Right now I am trying to increase my energy, it is a slow haul,
but I feel progress being made.
I have a new goal in mind,
will tell you in a few days.
hope you are all well, feeling good, staying on track,
and living the best life we can.
take care my friends.
Back soon.

  1. I had those same kind of mushrooms growing in my yard. I decided not to tempt fate. So I just enjoyed looking at them. I am feeling good and so far, staying on track. My allergies have been playing havoc but I push forward!! Glad you are too. Getting older is not for wimps that is for sure.
    Love you my friend
    Hugs

  2. Well don't eat them unless you can find out for sure that they are edible. Lots of mushrooms are just fine but unfortunately the ones that are not can be very dangerous ....... Take care xx

  12. I've wondered the same thing. We had a big patch of them in our back yard last year. I picked them and put them in a bucket, and then chickened out. I was afraid of killing my husband.

    I wonder why they grow in our yards. I'm going to look it up.

  13. Found it!

    Always assume a mushroom is poisonous. It takes biologists many years of studying mushrooms to differentiate poisonous from nonpoisonous and then there is doubt with some.
