If anyone living in East Anglia (or moving this way shortly ) is interested there's a Fungi Foray at Fairhaven Woodland and Water Gardens near Norwich on 12 Oct. The price on the website is incorrect at the moment - they're getting it changed - the Fungi Foray is only £6 and that includes a whole day's admission to the gardens.
I'm also an example of someone who has several books and a lot of experience in picking wild mushrooms. While caution is absolutely necessary, I agree with Swiss Sue - there are no poisonous British fungi that look like the example given.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Thank you Bob! While I agree that one should not eat mushrooms one does not know, James asked about those particular ones and they are definitely field mushrooms, no others look like that.

Since i used the lawn fertilizer, i have the mushrooms growing in the grass, the spores store in muck, especially from horse. We are eating them.
