I hope you aren't "anxious" because you ate some unknown fungi! There are several that are edible as stated in other answers including truffle. However, many fungi are deadly toxic, so don't experiment. If you want to eat some, buy it at a store.

Common Name(s)

Species Comments
Black truffle Tuber melanosporum
or Tuber aestivum You may come across the black and other types of truffle bottled or canned in brine. However, although the texture of the truffle is retained most of the aroma is lost during the preservation process. See also Truffles from Italy.
Chanterelle, Girolle Cantharellus cibarius

Yellow, funnel-shaped mushroom with blunt ridges instead of gills. A related species having a darker cap (Craterellus tubaeformis, the Autumn Chanterelle) is also sold.
Fairy ring mushroom, Mousseron Marasmius oreades Small bell-shaped mushrooms with gills that are normally sold in the dried state for use in stews etc. This mushroom often grows in association with poisonous Clitocybe species and great care must be taken when collecting from the wild.
Morille, Morel Morchella esculenta Fresh and dried morels are available from shops in the UK. Morels lack gills and have a conical, honeycombed cap.
Ovolo Amanita caesarea A relatively rare species that so far does not appear to be available in the UK. However, you may come across fresh 'ovoli mushrooms' for sale in northern Italy or Switzerland.
Pied de mouton Hydnum repandum Cream to pale yellow-coloured mushroom with spines instead of gills. Texture and taste similar to the chanterelle.
Porcino, Cep Boletus edulis Mainly sold in the form of dried slices and used as a flavouring agent for sauces and stews. Many commercial mushroom soups contain this species as the major flavour component.
St George's Mushroom Calocybe gambosa Only available in spring fruiting around St George's Day.
Trompette des morts
