  No I went early to bed.
  Years ago I found lots of them ,thinking that they were ok to eat. I gave them as well to several frinds.
  We all ate them. No one died but some had stomach problems and needed a toilet nearby. It didn’t affect me at all. But they are poisonous but obviously not deadly. I am still alive. Posted 3 years ago

    A lesson learned and a fair warning to others. Glad you're OK! Posted 3 years ago

The Yellow-staining mushroom

"Agaricus xanthodermus", commonly known as the yellow-staining mushroom or simply the yellow-stainer, is a mushroom of the genus "Agaricus", which displays a strong yellow colouration at the base of the stem when cut. It is poisonous for most people, causing gastrointestinal upset, but can be eaten by some without apparent negative effect.
