After You...No, After YOU!

Harvey discovered these mushrooms growing in the wood chips along the side of our house. He brought them in after dark, and the hours since then have been spent trying to determine first, their identity, and second, their edibility. Of course, our efforts are limited to the one mushroom field guide that we own; therefore the mushrooms will have to conform to one of the types included in the book. So far, Harvey has come up with Flammulina velutipes, and he says they are edible. I say, "After you, my dear...."
