Can we eat these?

Just found them in the field and they are destined for the pizza if that's ok?

You can eat destroying angel and deathcap but it's not recommended.

They look okay but if in doubt then don't. Only eat if you're sure they're safe. Worth buying a good book on the subject and go on a foray with someone who knows about these things.

Can't you take them to the pharmacist over there and ask there?

(They look OK to me, but I'd at least wait for Cab)

I could do but it hardly seems worth it for two mushrooms. There are more out there but small yet so maybe I'll visit my neighbour.

Slice one down the middle and scratch the edge of the cap. Leave them a minute, take a pic, and post it. Also give them a smell.

I'm fairly sure that they're edible, they look very unlike yellow stainers and they're probably one of the assorted edible Agaricus species. Theres nothiong in the picture to give a sense of scale so I can't tell you what sort precisely. But if we exclude the yellow stainer and one or two other dubious ones that turn yellowish, then they're one of the edible agaricus.

WHAT PEOPLE LOOK AT BOTTOM they could be web caps or fiber caps looking at that underneath
