toxic for dogs and not great for humans in large doses.
Mushroom foraging.

A rogue mushroom native to Asia is ripping through North American forests, after escaping from cultivation. As it runs riot, mushroom enthusiasts are rescuing the native fungi in its path.
They’ve done a lot of work in the woods where I used to forage - particularly along the sides of the tracks I walk. Didn’t see much last year but I saw the first signs of new growth this morning when I spied a young parasol mushroom although it was on the other side of one of the new wire fences they had put up and out of my reach. A few years ago there was a gate through that fence but since renewing the fence, they’ve done away with the gate.

Wouldn't touch them except maybe the magic type if I can confirm them
The side effects from the poisonous ones is just too nasty , kidneys etc.

Oh, I double and triple check before eating any of them.

Shaggy Parasol ?
Nah, not the shaggy, that’s poisonous. Just your common or garden parasol. I've eaten these from the same spot a couple of years ago and I’m still here to tell the tale.

I thought they were ok cooked ?
Destroyed! In the field that is fenced in are some wild goats. I bet those bar stewards did it!
Saw a Shaggy mane this morning. Just the one. I’ll leave it alone and see if it spores some others.
