Hi, I didn't know whether this belongs here or in /out/, sorry for the inconvenience.
These two guys popped up in my garden three days ago and I wanted to know whether they're edible, and if so, any good.
Out of focus, sorry, but here's a closer look
btw, location is Buenos Aires, Argentina (South America). It's summer and there hasn't been any rain for at least a week and a half. Why did they appear just now?
looks like Macrolepiota sp.
some species are edible.
Oh, and I took a quick look at the "edible mushrooms" wiki page and they look similar, albeit smaller, to the ones on the right here.

any way to find out which species this is?
>>2055572
eat it and find out.
at worst you'll have diarrhea and stomach cramps for a day or two.

I thought some fungi can kill?
But yeah, these are either Macrolepiota procera or Chlorophyllum molybdites. not sure if it's worth the risk :/

there aren't a whole lot of deadly fungi, and there's plenty of lists on them.
this isn't one of them.

thanks for the help
As a fungi noob I'd say please don't eat anything with skirts that taste bitter if lick. As a hungry student I'd say boil it twice and roast with onions, potatoes and sour cream, should be gud.
