Never touch a solid white mushroom under any circumstance. The destroying angel is not a joke.

I had these mushrooms growing in clusters in my backyard this past summer and I thought they were cool looking they were growing in an old dead tree but also were spread out on the ground. So I left them for their beauty. Then several weeks later I noticed a smell like a decaying body or something and seen the mushrooms were rotten and they were the one giving off the odor !!! Talking about freaky. Yuck !!

I picked my first field mushrooms yesterday and ate them for breakfast today! Delicious! I also found some conical mushrooms with an incurved margin, black dot (almost a dent) on top and dark brown margins, rest of the cap was a lighter brown with faint striations. Growing near field mushrooms. No sign of any veil, pinkish light brown gills and 5cm tall at the most, cap 1.5cm across. I can't find any ID for them!

Thanks very much. Just discovered a park with about two punds of mushrooms just appearing now. Big and small, I'm up for harvesting them and see from your video that they will not send me into a frantic trip! Cheers, very usefull video.

Leaf through an identification guide and see if you still feel like collecting wild mushrooms; an edible mushroom often protects itself by resembling a deadly one. I love the idea of foraging, but I don't think it can be sufficiently stressed that most people are not qualified to pick mushrooms safely. This is the sort of thing that really ought to be learned via apprenticeship, if there is such a thing as a mushroom master.

@undeadpresident might not "hurt" you, but it can effect you. I personally have been effected several times just by handling mushrooms and I have seen a video on scientific research on mushrooms that stated that merely handling mushrooms will cause you to absorb small amounts of it's chemicals.

@guest2424 Just touching one it isn't going to hurt you.

Mushrooms are given a bad name. Few are poisonous, but the ones that are... well, good job we have chaps like this to aid us.
