Combination of the size and the streaky silvery pattern on the cap. Although it is the smell that gives this one away for certain, as well as yellow staining in the stem base. You need a decent...
Yes, an Amanita. One of the rare white ones by the look of it. Possibly gemmata.
Yellow Stainers by the look of them
I'm guessing you've already got to page 70 by now and know that I'm going to tell you that the answer is no. There are no universal rules of thumb.
Not even close. Russulas do not have brown stems and aren't this shape. It's either a Galerina or a Laccaria.
Dean: if you are interested in edible fungi then there's a new book out this week.

Above discount code has now expired, but I am still selling signed copies for £20. Email me at geoffdfann@hotmail.com for details.
Book will hit the high street (and Amazon) this Thursday. :-)
SPECIAL OFFER limited time - this book is currently available direct from the publisher at the massive discount of 35%, free P&P. You won't get it cheaper than the RRP of £20 anywhere else. I am...

I'm making a list (I'm checking it twice...) :-)
Watch this space. I'll post something in this thread in late August or early September for people to reserve signed copies of the first print run.
A bit of news on the book....
It is now going to be a 512 page paperback (instead of a 304 page hardback). Much bigger photos. It will also be delayed from the original release date - now...
That's absolutely NOT Hemlock. The leaves are nothing like it. Not Giant Hogweed either - too small and the leaves are all wrong. Looks like Cow Parsley (Wild Chervil) to me.
Yes, signed copies available directly from me.

Can't help you with that.

Some examples of the quality of photography to expect, and an extract from the text: http://www.geoffdann.co.uk/the-book/
The book will be published by a young and ambitious company currently making some of the classiest out-doorsy books around. They are called Wild Things Publishing and their mission is to "create...
One can't survive on calories/fat alone for very long.
I don't have figures, but the idea that they have no nutritional value is fairly obviously a myth. The fruiting bodies of fungi are made of the same sort of stuff that plants and animals are made...
Mushrooms have as much nutritional benefit as vegetables. Different mushrooms differ, as do different vegetables.
