Idk how to even compare the IDs of mushrooms. However it looks exactly like the horse mushroom. There was no yellow stain, I also scratched its skin but it did not turn yellow.
I've attached images of its gills. Now can you tell whether it is edible or not? @theworldaroundme
Unfortunately, I cannot tell; there are lots of factors to consider in identifying mushrooms, and looking just at the photos is not enough for me to tell. There are poisonous counterparts, and in this type, I can only tell how the gill is attached to the stem. Like the poisonous Entoloma, the look is very similar to the one you have, but the gills are notched, with some gills being free, which means some are slightly attached to the stem. While the edible horse mushroom gills are all free (not attached to the stem). So maybe start learning about ID; how gills are attached to the stem; it is one of the very important skills in identifying the mushroom. You'll be confident eating them when you have identified them 100% correctly. Apart from that, consider the characteristics of the cap, stem, and spore print, also smell, and location. Know their poisonous lookalikes and compare. 😊
According to your study, this is not even the horse mushroom because this one's gills are not free to the stem. and the article on that site is even more confusing, they showed 9 different types of gills... I guess I must study more about identifying mushrooms before even thinking of eating any unknown species. Thank you for this brief info about all this. 😊🙏
You are very welcome; I am very impressed you looked at the link. It is confusing at first, but it gets easier. 😊💗
