Hey a couple of friends found a couple of huge mushrooms a couple of days ago and wanted to find out if they were shrooms. I've not got my field guide yet so I was wondering if anyone could identify them for me?
Its not likely, but its worth a shot.

They're not shrooms, and you shouldn't eat them unless you can 100% identify them as edible.
Personally i'd opt out of the shroom picking until you find an expert.
Yeah I thought as much, but it was worth a shot.
Although I've been lucky enough to find some at this time of year already. =]
because if you don't I wouldn't go around randomly picking mushrooms, it's what we call a BAD IDEA. Unless you don't like your liver?
Not pyscoactive mushrooms you havn't.
Out of season for all UK psycoactive UK mushrooms, both Aminitas and Psilocybe species occur later in the year.
I can't even see what sort of psychoactive mushroom you/your mates might have thought these were?
I think you'll find that there arn't. Even the most deadly Aminitas need to injested for poisoning to occur.
You are right though in that mushroom poisoning has to be one of the worst ways to die.
