One last question dose/did it have fine little hairs on the cap?Cyb I would advise throwing that shroom away...
based on the information you provided and from what I can see in your pictures. I beleive that is possibly a greenfleshy.(Inocybe corydalina var. corydalina) However their are many look-alikes in the UK that can be very toxic. Unless 100% positive ID can be made NEVER eat a wild mushroom, and I can't be 100% sure based on pictures.
The reddish brown spore print rules out many other possibilities, Most psilocybin mushroom have a purple almost black spore print...
Alternatively you could do a test.
Lick the cap just a little, don't put the whole thing in your mouth just tap it to the tip of your tongue and wait 24-48 hours.
If you experience ANY of the following symptoms throw it out and wash your hands thoroughly.
flushness,(redness of the face) swollen tongue/glands, swollen throat, dizzyness, profuse unexplained sweating, heavy shallow breathing, nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, or anything else you associate with the shroom. If not then cut off a VERY tinny piece, place it your mouth and chew for 5 min DO NOT SWALLOW. If after 5 mins of chewing their is no "burning" felt then it is ok to swallow, wait 24-48 hours any of the above symptoms discard. If it passes both test it is LIKELY ok to eat but not DEFINITELY.
Also I advise anyone doing their own shroom hunting keep a bottle of "Milk Thistle Extract" in their medicine cabinet. It's a liver detoxin and will help clear your system.
Quote:Maybe they are psilocybe caerulea...
More commonly known as Stropharia Cyanea, they too would have a purplish spore print.
But I would most likely not take the chance and just toss it, better to be safe then DEAD.
It's always a good idea to know what look-alike shrooms grow in ones area and how to distinguish them from the real thing. Also next time take a picture of the shroom before you pick it so we can better understand it's habitat, that is a very important part of identifying a mushroom.
Hope it helps.
