When you tap them, they give off a fine white powder that floats away.

  1. Do you have access to a local edible fungi expert so you can harvest and enjoy the right ones?

  2. In theory yes, you can take fungi to the local pharmacy who will tell you which ones you can eat. Personally I don't like mushrooms enough to take the risk.
