Are the mushrooms in my grass edible???

Question

I need make speghetti!!!!! Haha!

Answer 1

it's impossible to tell = they could be poisonous = hell no, they shouldn't be considered edible!

And don't let some hippy convince you he know all about "shrooms" and can tell them apart and safely separate them.

Answer 2

Mushrooms sprout in lawns after prolonged periods of wet weather, often in areas where dead organic matter has accumulated. Old tree roots, stumps or home construction debris, especially sawdust, encourage their growth.


Mushrooms may grow in a circle around grass, forming "fairy rings." Grass inside these rings can be a darker green and grow more quickly. In some cases, there are so many mushrooms in these rings water can not penetrate into the soil and the grass dries out, sometimes dying. This leaves a ring of dead, brown grass and another ring of darker green, healthy grass.


Fungicides don't usually kill fairy ring mushrooms in this region. Spring and fall aeration and several applications of a few ounces of dish washing solution in a gallon of water on the ring will sometimes make the ring less noticeable.


While there are many fungi that cause fairy rings, the presence of mushrooms in the lawn does not mean fairy rings will form. Most mushrooms that grow in lawns are feeding on dead organic matter which has accumulated in the lawn. The mushrooms can be mowed off or removed with a rake.

Lawn mushrooms may be poisonous or may cause allergic reactions and should not be eaten by humans or pets unless proper identification shows they are edible.

Answer 3

It depends on what part of the country you live. Almost all mushrooms will grow in the wild. There are varieties that can and do grow on lawns, I think one type is a mireille.

For the most part I would say not to try it unless you had them verified as edible by someone knowledgable.

Answer 4

Don't risk it. Most likely they are not edible. Poisonous mushrooms can kill and they have no ante-dote. Buy your shrooms at the grocery store !

Answer 5

A graduate course in Fungi will help. Otherwise the only way to tell poinsous from non-poisonus is to eat them and see if you start to see monsters falling from the sky.

Answer 6

no / mushrooms that are edible have tight filaments under the cap or not any at all

Answer 7

No! Go to a local market or grocery store.

Answer 8

I'm sure they're edible. Whether they're posionious or not only trying them will tell.

Answer 9

doubt they are. just buy some mushrooms in the supermarkets!

Answer 10

No! They're wild, and you could get sick from eating them. Have some sense!
