Some of these have a pink underside, but they just look like smaller ones of the bigger brown variety. Baby ones.

Your spot on the pink ones would be the same as the brown ones in a day if left. Enjoy them I would

They are fine to eat. Good common old garden variety mushroom. Not mush room in that bowwl Ha ha ha

I'm genuinely just after a bit of info. I grew up being told not to just eat mushrooms out of the ground because they might be poisonous. I got no idea which is which.

You're serious??? How old are you? Most, correction, all kiwi kids I know have tried these by age 5.

I'm 25. I grew up in town mate. I've only been living on a farm the past few years. So yeah I don't have a country upbringing.

It's absolutely worth the 3 hours I spend in traffic every day.

those are all good to eat

Now your an ad for Tui.

Used to eat field mushrroms like that all the time on the farm. The old man used to send us out on missions with buckets when we were kids.

Actually had some from the farm last weekend that were the same as the ones in your pictures. Get stuck into them mate!

I'll come down and taste test them for you. I do expect to be walking on the ceiling though.

Slice em up and cook in a pot with lots of butter (been an Aucklander it is acceptable to sprinkle Paprika in them) When they start to soften add milk to cover them. Don't let the milk boil. When simmering, Put a couple of bit of bread in the toaster then mix cornflower with a bit of milk and add to mushrooms till thickened. Should be a nice grayish colour

You will soon know if you found the magic shrooms

Rimfire, as the guys say, those are the real deal...and also, the dark frills are those which are older...be careful with the older ones as they can become populated with insects...I really only like to pick the buttons and those with pink frills...leave the dark ones to spore and make more for next year.
