Hello,

We have some mushrooms coming up on the corner of our grass lawn and we are not sure whether they are poisonous or not. Obviously we would handle them and pick them up wearing gardening gloves but does anyone know what type of mushroom they are and whether they are poisonous from the photo shown below please?

    Do they have white gills? They are usually poisonous. I'm not sure, but they could be Sulphur Tuft (poison and bitter) or even Death Cap (deadly), but they aren't quite like either.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Do you have children playing in the garden? If not I would leave them and let them live their life. Without fungi there would be no human life. Getting an ID isn't easy without a photo of gills and stalk.
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
