We have Roger Phillips too , so have found your horse mushrooms, as you say , very edible .
We have many field mushrooms that we have eaten now and then, when there were no others around .
Rule number one with mushrooms is , "if you are not sure , then don't eat them"
Agaricus are pretty much all edible and I have never noticed any change colour when cut.
Jen found another few kilos again today , we are picking up her daughter from Bellegarde tomorrow , returning via St Junien. If you are on that trajectory let me know and we will save some cepes for you.

How kind of you, but unfortunately I shan't be anywhere near St Junien. I shall be on Friday though!!!!
People who live fairly close were both rushed into hospital having eaten a couple of wrongly identified mushrooms which made them violently ill. It's so easily done.

Just been out scanning the field and found some unusual mushrooms. this one is, I think, a lurid bolete (Boletus Luridus, would you believe) Attachment Deletedand this one is the devil's finger (Clathrus Archeri)

The Clathrus archeri is also known as the Octopus Mushroom. They look like some sort of alien life form.

This video on how to identify horse mushrooms is extremely clear and well worth a watch. Having seen it, I am now convinced that what I have found in the paddock is indeed Agaricus Arvensis that I now shall dare to cook.

I have just been informed that some pr1ck from the local fartbook UK community proudly states that "under no circumstances should any 'shroom with gills be eaten" upon fear of certain death.

Thats OK then, I have no fear of certain death (despite having covid) so I can eat them.
How do you know that they stated it with pride?

local fartbook UK community I shiver at the thought of that  I'm sure there will be one not far from where I have moved but I won't be joining to peruse such gems. The lack thereof was something that I did not appreciate enough where I had been living. |

Having seen it, I am now convinced that what I have found in the paddock is indeed Agaricus Arvensis that I now shall dare to cook. As you said V that is a really clear explanation of how to check for a horse mushroom .. even I would be confident about edibility if I found an example like that after checking it out. OH had mushroom poisoning (from a resto in the UK) which has made me very cautious. We were horribly poorly for about 48 hours .. it was not an experience I would care to repeat. We were young and able to shrug it off then I am not so sure we would do so well today. |

But you didn't keep away though did you!
I regularly get slated from Facebook fanboys for saying I wont use it or similar because of what I have heard from others when I have not seen it for myself, I am more than happy for that situation to continue.
I do have a Facebook ID, its impossible to belong to any French sports club etc these days without it as its the only way they communicate.
On the positive side the caravan I am living in, my Ifor Williams trailer, my ride on lawn mower, temporary kitchen and hundreds of other things came from local English speaking buying and selling groups and I was tipped off to all of them by a good friend who also found me several houses, but for my stumbling across my one I probably would have bought one of them.
I have since joined the groups, not to follow the listings but to be able to open the ones he sends me and to communicate with the sellers, I have not joined any discussion groups nor tried to read any (not sure if you could anyway), I have no Facebook friends and refuse any requests including from my own family.
I only ever used it on the computer and was told the interface was crap compared to on a mobile device, it probably is but having now loaded it onto a phone I find that it is full of adverts and "selected for you!" crap that the adblock on the computer stops, I now realise that the people that keep posting daft, sensational and often completely incorrect newspaper stories from many different sources are not perusing all those sites but the rubbish is being served up to them by a Facebook algorithm and the more they open or "like" them the more tailored they become.
Instead of being well read as I had incorrectly assumed they are the complete opposite.

I have always enjoyed your missives in this place but it would seem that your famed eyesight has let you down again. I would politely suggest that you re-read wot I rote, it is written "I have just been informed that....", told to me by a third party who can be eminently trusted to give any information verbatim. I have had no need, and less interest, to join the sheep even though I am a member of half a dozen or more clubs and associations who would wish it so, I have not found that it is 'impossible to belong to any French sports club' if they want to tell me something they can call me on the 'phone (landline, I do not use a moby and have not since the nineties) and that includes any family or fiends [sic]. Best wishes and bon courage re the Covid.

Thanks, I would blame it on Covid haze and not my eyesight! The last club that I belonged to that communicated by E-mail stopped doing so 5 years ago with a change of President, I had changed to them because of the exact same problem with previous ones, I was fed up with going to training sessions or gym classes that were cancelled & their way of informing people was to put a message on Facebook, they all took E-mail addresses and phone numbers but never used them, I was amongst many that turned up and got angry, towards the end I was the only one and in the only club that had been communicating in a normal and correct fashion so I had no choice but to join them. On moving to Bergerac I went to the Forum des associations in my village and also the huge one (400 exposants) in Bergerac, I asked the question of every club I was interested in, 100% of them communicated only by Facebook. I realised that I am the one out of step for not staring at my phone screen the whole time (it never leaves the home) and not wanting notifications of rubbish from the apps, my new phone does not even light up an LED or give any indication that a notification has come in my absence unless you fire it up and go looking, again it made me realise that everyone else has theirs with them all the time and looks at them constantly. I was also refused membership of the gym d'entretien sessions 500m from my home because "the trainer does not want and will not accept men in the group"  I was told I could do Marche Nordique instead if I wanted, I mean why not, they are the same after all |
