My lucky garden mushrooms. Any idea what they are?

No. Do they have any smell, do they stain yellow, red or any other colour when bruised or cut?

 

They could be some sort of agaricus but nothing I recognise and some agaricus are poisonous while others are not worth eating.

No smell, no stains. Maybe a tiny tinge of yellow/brown?

One of the agrocybes looks possible, Agrocybe rivulosa and Agrocybe praecox both seem to grow on woodchip. I'm not familiar with either but it seems they can be confused with toxic fungi.

Cheers. I'd have eaten them pretty much whatever you said.

This might be up your street. https://www.geoffdann.co.uk/agrocybe-rivulosa-is-edible-and-excellent/

I'd be interested is some photos of the cap before they've opened out.

Aye. I like his style.

Only other mushrooms and only other photos.

Dinner on the go. Might end up off my tits, might end up dead, probably will just end up fed.

No ill effects, no brill fx.

Here's a photo of a recent crop of shiitake grown on a small oak thining, just pop the log into a water butt for a day to shock the fungi into fruiting. Should get several harvests like that over a couple of years.
