 Agaricus

Augustus Agaricus is a genus of mushrooms

containing both edible and poisonous
species, with possibly over 300 members
worldwide. The genus includes the
common ("button") mushroom (Agaricus
bisporus) and the field mushroom
(Agaricus campestris), the dominant
cultivated mushrooms of the West.

 Agricus pilatianus
Agaricus pilatianus is a rare species of
poisonous mushroom found in Europe. It
is a white to cream colour that discolours
when cut, bruised or damaged. The cap
can reach sizes of up to 12 centimetres
and can grow to 8 centimetres in height.

 Satans Bolete
Rubroboletus satanas, commonly known
as the Devil's bolete or Satan's
mushroom, is a basidiomycete fungus of
the bolete family. It was known
scientifically as Boletus satanas until
2014.

 Inocybe hystrix Inocybe hystrix is an agaric fungus in the

family Cortinariaceae. It forms
mycorrhiza with surrounding deciduous
trees. Fruit bodies are usually found
growing alone or in small groups on leaf
litter during autumn months.
 Brown Roll Rim
Poisonous, deadly. Very common. This
mushroom contains a toxin that can be
neutralised by lengthy boiling and
disgarding the water several times but
this does not remove another toxin that
can build up in the body over time and
eventually lead to a rather nasty death. It
is eaten in certain parts of Eastern Europe
but still leads to deaths every year there.
Definately a mushroom to avoid.

 Beechwood
Sickener Formerly Russula mairei (Singer), and
commonly known as the beechwood
sickener, the now re-classified fungus
Russula nobilis (Velen.) is a
basidiomycete mushroom of the genus
Russula. This group of mushrooms are
noted for their brittle gills and bright
colours.

 Common Earth
Ball Very common and the mushroom
that seems to have the most UK
poisonings every year, possibly due
to confusion with Common Puffballs
or even Truffles. There are three
types of Earthball in the UK,
Scleroderma citrinum (Common
Earth Ball), Scleroderma areolatum
(Leopard Earthball) and
Scleroderma verrucosum (Scaly
Earthball), all are similar but the
Scaly Earthball is darker in colour.
