Come mushroom hunting with us! Lots of inedible mushrooms, most poisonous, some deadly* poisonous and some goods edibles to be found, let's take a look.
*Sometimes it's better to err on the side of caution the mushroom I identify as The Destroying Angel (Amanita virosa) could have also been a potentially suspect mushroom called Volvariella gloiocephala, these two can weather dependent look similar at first glance. The latter shouldn't have any of the volva on the stipe but also the cap of V. gloiocephala doesn't look like the cap of A. virosa but this example showed material on the stem, Mmmmm, yes the spores are different, no good with a microscope to examine them and there were text book V. gloiocephala growing nearby and they did NOT look like this suspect A. virosa. Yes one must be careful, so despite some books saying you can eat V. gloiocephala, i wouldn't as it can be confused with The Destroying Angel and as the name suggests...........
