Is this edible and what is it?.

Looks like one of the Blewits (genus Lepista or Tricholoma). If in doubt don't eat it. Some of them are bad.

 

I am interested to hear how the slicing goes, if you do it.

Just curious really,I can't find it in my books.

 

Paxillus involutus perhaps. If it is it's a deadly one.

 

no, not Paxilus, which they consume on the continent even though its commn name is the "poison Pax":001_smile:

 

looks like it might be a lactarius species as there apeas to be a little milk like droplet on one of the gills. most fungi are pretty harmless, very few will kill you, some just a dicky tum, however, given you know VERY little of the fifth kingdom i would steer well clear of consumption.

 

stick to very easily identified fungi like Laetiporus, giant puffballs and white pored boletes, stay safe fungi freaks:thumbup1:

I've not heard the 'white pored bolete' rule of thumb before. Where have you heard that, and how reliable is it?
