Hi guys couple of questions please ...
First can you confirm that these are fly agaric? I understand that there are very few lookalikes in the U.K.



Assuming they are, can you confirm that drying them in a cracked open oven for an hour on the lewest temperature is ok?
Assuming both are correct, I was probably just going to grind it down and drink with water... probably thinking of about 8g over a few steady doses to check all goes well? How does that sound. Any better methods bearing in mind I don't like tea or smoking and I'm not good at stomaching stuff that taste crap
Finally, I'm also on the hunt for cyans... I'm comfortable with lib identification so wanted to branch out. Iv attached below my second attempt at picking but there's no blue bruising from where I've picked so I'm still not ambitious they're right.
I understand they should habe white gills, a chestnut coloured flat cap that can curl up and a white stem. I believe they grow in mulch or wood chipping... how's that sound.
Can anyone give a clue at where I'm going wrong appearance wise? They were picked at the base of some trees where the dead leaves had sort of mulched up.


Thanks guys

I can confirm that those are fly agarics. The others are certainly not cyans or anything close to them. Honestly the best advice I can give about learning to better identify and find cyans is to research where and when to look, and to look at pictures and descriptions until every single characteristic feels as though it's recorded in your brain by way of branding iron.

Thanks for the quick reply.
It's really getting my goat on the cyan front! It literally took me about two weeks to grasp Libs but these little buggers are getting the better of me.
Just to confirm... the picture below from google is what I am looking for...

The second one might be Rhodocollybia butyracea.
