Mushrooms

If anyone can post any photographs of edible mushrooms it would be appreciated (or email them to me).

My knowledge of what is edible is very limited and basically limited to the one species. There are numerous others though not so plentiful plus toadstools etc. But I want to learn what others are edible can they can be eaten as well. I am wary though of applying knowledge from one continent to another as who knows if what is safe in the USA is edible in Australia or Europe etc ie looks could be deceiving. But if anyone else knows otherwise please speak up.

When I visited Italy it is self evident that the Italians are fanatical about mushrooms, and will pass on secret spots from father to son on their death beds. Some harvesters will leave home before dawn so that their neighbours do not find their spots in the forests. When I stayed at a hunting estate on top of a mountain North of Florence and shot a couple pheasants, some of their wonderful dishes included mushrooms and they had a large poster of some 30 or more mushroom types on the wall.

PS I have just finished lunch (yes I know a late one - having had a fight with my stags - well they were fighting and needed sorting out before I lost the genes of a good one). Lunch was a yellow Thai curry but with wild Barossa mushrooms added. The mushroom flavour is so strong it overpowers the yellow curry and also makes the sauce somewhat grey. In the past have always added shop bought mushrooms which are nice but nowhere near these.
