I think that shaggy inkcaps are fine, but the common one is the problem variety. They're close relatives and I don't know that I'd trust someone else's judgement if they were to pick, cook and serve them. The droopy cap in the pics looks like Shaggy, but the more parasol looking ones (in the same pics) might be Common ~ but I could well be wrong :-o .

Both are edible ~ if in doubt avoid mixing with alcohol :-)

(Easy for me as I no longer drink alcohol]

I'll drink the alcohol and leave the mushrooms :-)

Need to make up my bed with clean (ironed) bedding before I can go into it

[If you want to put yourself off of foraging for plants native to the U.K ... look up Hemlock Water Dropwort :-o ]

I don't know my mushrooms, I've only looked on google/wiki, the parasol still have the shagginess to them so I think they're shaggy, (compared to the photos I've seen of common ones) but I don't know for sure, and I barely drink so if I were to eat them avoiding alcohol is not an issue. :) thanks for the info.

I didn't know there was a common ink cap, I only know the shaggy ones. They're the only wild fungi I've ever eaten, apart from puff-balls - also very easy to recognize.

Never seen one of those. Just little ones.
