I'd say those are in the B. edulis group. I can see reticulation on the upper part of the stipe.  I wouldn't hesitate to eat those. They don't look buggy, either. 

With mushrooms that mature, I'd dry them first. It really enhances the flavor.

thats good to know, i was worried they might be the scaber stalk thing. yeah, i was lucky to come across them at all, the season up here has been pretty crappy, very little rain. i'll dry them as you suggest, should i cut them up and blow them with a fan? i dont have a dehydrator.

Haha, yeah I guarantee, in your location?  Cut open the stem and look for little white worms before you eat that shit.  Unless you love eating little white worms.  Not that it'll hurt ya, but... ugh...

Have some medicinal mushrooms and want to get the most out of them?  Try this double extraction method.

Eh, you kinda might need heat.  To kill all the worms.  Or else just cook and eat 'em :wink:

While I said that I wouldn't hesitate to eat these, I didn't mean that you should.  Wait for a TI to confirm or correct my ID. I live in CA, so I'm not familiar with the mushrooms that grow in your area.

But I sure thinks its in the B. edulis group.
