Is there a place online where I can look at mushrooms, to identify the different types that grow in my field?

Question

To see which ones are poisonous, and stuff like that. Thank you in advance.

[[is this the right forum to post this question in??]]

Answer 1

If they grow in your field they are poisonous, if they grow in a cave or in the dark they are OK, that is if someone has put them in the cave!

Answer 2

Here is a real good site for looking at mushrooms.  This is one of the right places to post this question.  Botany would also be a good place.  Good luck.

That would be an entertaining pastime. However if you are really going to eat the ones you find you need to be 100% sure ("you bet your life they are non-toxic") before you bite one. There is no room for slack in your judgement and I don't think a web site will stand behind their identifications at a coroner's inquest of you.

Answer 4

I mey help to you.. In Italy (from where I am anwering) We have many web-sito..<www.agraria.org/funghi.htm>>I have seen ..500 variety of mushrooms...

Italian vocabolary..

pericoloso,mortale, tossico==Toxic.dangerous

buono, edule, mangereccio = Good ! delicius !

sospetto................................. (mey be toxic)

funghi=mushrooms..

Pay attention ! In Australia thy mey have differet colors !!

In Italy 100 persons a year they give up in hospital for mushrooms !!

Answer 5

Mushrooms are hard to distinguish from each other.  So checking to see if they are poisonous is not a good idea, especially if you plan on eating them.  You should take it to an expert on fungi if you really want to know.

You can start from this one.
