Use to have some wild mushrooms of a schools sportsfield many years ago, they were seeded by spores from local mushroom farms so originated as edible.
Obviously looking for actual wild varieties in woodlands can be problemmatic and is something that definitely be researched in advance before making any hastey decision. One wrong one is enough to kill, if not upset the stomach (That even includes the ones that might be seen as magical)

Off topic .. just a point in passing..
The rotten wood Vanessa held up weighed very little .. in maybe a year the entire tree will have been decomposed. Coal seams formed at a time when nothing could digest wood - now any carbon stored by a tree goes back into the atmosphere (as CO2) within a few years. Live trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it until they die - at which point it returns to the atmosphere.
