A mushroom in the grass. / myLot

After the recent spell of rains, we've had a few mushrooms popping up in the grass lawn. I wonder what kind they are and if they are edible. I decided to play it safe and just pull them and put them in the bin.

I love the sight of mushrooms, but I still don't know how to tell if they are poisonous or not.

Me neither, so I just left it alone.

@pitstop But I thought you said you pulled them out?

@piyoz000 yes, what I meant was I pulled them out and dumped them rather than trying cooking it or eating it.

That was a wise choice to throw them out. I'm not a mushroom expert either. Have a good day.

Usually some mushrooms will be available after the rain. But it's better not to touch or even eat them as it can be poisonous. It can lead to very serious result. This is why I just buy the mushrooms from the market.

That's a sensible suggestion
