Hi Paul
Welcome to WAB. I think you better read the second thread about edibility requests.

Go to the main page of the fungi forum and read the 2nd sticky down.
We are unable to ID your finds for edibity etc. purposes.
That's just the way it is !

Ah yes I understand now! Thats a sensible rule! So I promise this mushroom wont be eaten now so what is it??? I am new here. I did spend 4 years working as a scientist for a fungal research company though and have published papers relating to filamentous fungi so I am not daft LOL |

Ah, so in that case I can confirm it's the Death Cap 
You surprise me, all that knowledge and you are unsure with this common edible ? Oops, slapped wrist, I did not confirm this as F.velutipes.

Sorry I didnt mean to sound like a know it all or smart ass I worked with aspergili species and have become fascinated with wild mushrooms and my lab experience means nothing when it comes to IDing wild species. I just meant I am not the kind of person to pick something without knowing for CERTAIN what it was! Thanks for the reply though =] |

Stick around Paul, as I might want to ask you a load of questions on organic compost heaps which my boss/friend chucks his dog's muck into and I have to chuck in the barley straw soaked in chicken guano from the chicken shed.
It's when I turn over the muck, I'm afraid of breathing in all the Aspergillus spores, but I do not and have never smoked, so I should be OK shouldn't I ?

I have worked with a consultant/professor (Dr David Denning) who specialises in aspergilus related asthma so I can prob answer your questions. As far as I am concerned AVOID breathing in the spores. But I could be of more help if/when I get involved with his company/research grants as I may soon. But I want my mushroom identifying first!! =] |
