There are quite a few mushroom patches in our fields.

One group of field mushrooms which I managed to identify and eat without ill effect.

But there are several others. I suspect they are not edible and I’m not going to try but would be interested to know what they are please.

The second one looks like a puffball but you need to be sure!  (If it is, cut the top 2/3 off, leave the fruiting layer in situ to set spores.)

I suspect all the others will make you very ill indeed.  As Terry Pratchet said, "All fungi are edible.  Some of them only once."

Yes I think they are puffballs. Are they OK.

A couple of sites I looked at said anything with white gills was probably not good.

And the red ones, well yeah - just they look like something from a childrens story book illustration.
