    Before typing out my opinion..

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Do not eat it if you don't know what you have.. Some of the 'harmless looking ones', will play around with you for a few days, in very painful ways, before sending you on to the hereafter..

    Chin stroking internet forum guess?

    'Wood Mushroom'

    MOD Note
    I've quoted the above for clarity.

    ID requests are welcome but with regard to IDing mushroom/toadstools from photos, answers given cannot be trusted 100%

    Just to say, if you want to source a great Irish book targeting Irish Fungi, you should go for the following: Forest Fungi in Ireland by Paul Dowding and Louis Smith - Published by Coford.

    Thanks for the replies folks, the topic title was meant as a joke, not a good one I think in hindsight. I have a small Collins book "Food for Free" which points to it being a Field or maybe Horse Mushroom due to it`s size and white veil but as you say I really don`t know enough about the subject to even risk it. A pity cos it looks tasty.
