Well i know for a fact you wont be howling at the moon and circling the house in the nude after those ones!!!

I only see one not and thats" enough"

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

Ha ha good one Rushy !!!

Go for it Rimfire if they havn't got a red roof papa smurf doesn't live under it

those are all good to eat

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.

there was a 'guide to NZ mushrooms' handbook on bookshelves not so long ago - same series as nz birds, nz trees from memory. It was good.

pick them fresh is the major priority. Leave them to spore if they're obviously past it.

Plot where they're growing on your GPS they'll be there there next year too.

I dont think I have had field mushrooms since I was a kid and we had the farm.

Myself and the two ugly blisters (older sisters) used to be sent up the ridge with a bag each and for about two weeks on a good year we would get a bag each everyday, but we would only pick mature ones.

Freezers plural full literally.

If you eat any that make you see things please keep some aside for me
