Mushroom ID

[Pandabean]

I had looked this one up in the book at the time and can't remember the name but from what it said it was poisonous when raw, but fine when cooked....that is if I have the right one.
Also I dont have the book with me at work, perhaps someone could rejog my mind?

They were found on the grassy area between the edge of a path and a pine woodland.

Apologies for not using images, but Flickr doesnt want to play nice this morning and let me have the image code.


This is just the general shot with a group of them.

I'd check out shaggy parasol.

Looks more like a blusher, Amanita rubescens, to me or a similar amanita.

Blusher was the name that I thought it was but couldn't remember. Thanks Slowworm.

Anyone else want to back that up?

Hmmm....I'd say I'm 98% certain that's a blusher...

Thanks Geoff.
Getting there....just very slowly with my ID.
