I am new to the mushy caper and have just watched a few videos with Terrance Mckenna.

I have found a couple in my back yard and hoped someone could identify them?

Can i eat these and how stoned would i get?

thanks

Not very. But if you don't take a great deal of care IDing you could end up pretty dead.

None of those look like active mushrooms to me. I am far from a mushroom expert but for a positive ID you need to include more info i.e. spore print colour, substrate, gill colour, stem colour, presence of bruising etc.

none of those are active, some cool mushrooms to have growing in the garden though. i like the 4th picture.

Thanks guys,

i will have a look around the park down the road over the weekend.

I think i saw some mushies there with golden tops and were quite small in size.

Will take the camera with me.

Now your talking.

Take pics and spore prints.

[PD.]

Dude that fungi in the third and fourth picture look a hell of alot like Omphalotus nidiformis. Although i have never seen them fruiting off trees(up off the ground) where i live, apparently they are more common on trees in W.A. but i guess it could happen anywhere. They usually fruit right at the bottom of stumps and trees here. Go out and have a look at it after dark, you may get a pleasant suprise.
