Question

Are all non-white mushrooms generally inedible and toxic to eat?

Answer 1

No, but be very careful. There are plenty white ones that are lethal.

An example of a non-white edible one is the chantarelle, which is yellow and a delicacy.

Caesar's mushroom is another one, which has an orange cap and is supposed to be delicious.

Answer 2

Cripes, if you have to ask, don't ever pick your own mushrooms.

Answer 3

not at all. In my country we pick mushrooms in the woods. Most of them are not white. In fact, the white ones are usually lethal.

Answer 4

No - many are good to eat.  That said if you aren't good at properly identifying mushrooms you shouldn't pick them to eat - they are a very diverse group and difficult to properly identify.
