Edible?

Edible ? Yes, but the next question : by/for who ? .

[Beryl Lloyd]

Lovely shots -I think I would rather leave them for the field mice and other small animals to eat them !!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I like your pov on these shots. Great collage, Pyrrhula.

[Sherrill]

Awesome POV & great collage

[Catherine W.]

That is the question. I never know which ones are safe so just stick to the ones at the grocery store: )

I am not sure about edible. I would not pick mushrooms ever to eat, just buy at our grocery store. I grew up near San Francisco, California. My Mom still lives in the house I grew up in. She had a neighbor come by and pick and eat the mushrooms from her lawn in her front yard. I asked him how he knew that they were ok to eat and he just said he knew. Even though he ate them I would not. I love your collage of these mushrooms. They are both so very different. Amazing to me that wildlife knows what they can or cannot eat and would leave these for them or to die into the ground.

Love the little toadstall on the left!!

[Mickey Anderson]

Nice shrooms!! When young I dated a girl and she knew them all well! had many a wild one!! Great shots!

So it's time again for mushrooms. I haven't been in our forest for so long. we still have mosquitoes here and that's the reason why we haven't been there all summer. they were so bad that we had to turn around the last time we were there. I love the picture of the safe mushroom as I can see some animal took a bite of it while the other one seems to be whole. great picture, Ferry. one fav.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well, if they were in my backyard the nibbler would have been a deer. I have also photographed them with insects apparently dining on them also. Lovely collage!

[Daisy Miller]

Lovely fungus photos. Unusual one on the left.

[Leah]

Lovely and interesting all the different kinds and shapes of fungus!!! Great collage and so nice to see all the different kinds!!!

[Kerri]

Awesome

[alia_801]

Interesting shapes - the one on the right looks like someone/something has already tried to eat it!

[Brianna]

Interesting shot and I'm not sure what would get into eating these but I know I sure wouldn't!

[Dione Giorgio]

Ha you have triggered by curiosity. By whom! I wonder. They look so lovely and delicious.

[Denise Wood]

great capture - but I wouldn't try eating them :)

[Fisher Family]

A great set of shots. Be careful with unknown mushrooms and fungi though! - Lucy

[KWind]

Nice shots. I wouldn't eat any mushrooms unless they come from the grocery store.

[Pyrrhula]

@bruni . thanks for the fav. dear Bruni.
@777margo @bruni @daisymiller @lealady The one of the left is a baby fungus of the right pic. I also good named it : Young - old.

Nice images, Ferry.

Mark zijn vader was heel goed in het vinden van eetbare paddestoelen. Wij weten het eigenlijk niet, jammer dat die kennis verloren gaat. Ze zeggen dat je een klein stukje moet proberen en kijken of je er ziek van wordt.

[Pyrrhula]

@overalvandaan We hebben er tegenwordig ook de noodzaak niet meer voor. Veel werd gedaan uit armoede . Tegenwoordig is er zoveel te koop en het hele jaar door.

[Vesna]

Interesting collage and text, I don't know which animals eat fungi.

[mervyn hobbs]

Nicely taken.

[Gosia]

As you know we Poles love mushrooms and right now it the season for them in our forests. I will not tell if those are edible just looking at the picture. It takes time and experience to be able to recognise them. Every year at least handful of people in Poland getting sick eating the wrong ones.
