I've just trawled through a couple of my fungi books. Can't see it, but from your pic can't tell how big it is and can't see the stem.
I planned on doing some foraging, bought books and looked at a couple of pages of edible ones. Oh yes I thought. I can recognise those. Turned the page. More identical fungi but these were poisonous. Needless to say I gave the idea up.

I forage for them too, except they are usually found in little bags or containers

It's kept me alive all these years

Waitrose is great for foraging

It was about 6" across. I think it might be this: xerocomellus chrysenteron http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Xerocomellus_chrysenteron.html

What puts me off real foraging is a comment in the link, "cannot be reliably told apart without a microscope "

I'll stick to shop foraged thanks

I may however risk a blackberry or strawberry, picked higher than dog genitals reach

looks a bit like this but I don't think the stem is the same.
Poisonous anyway!

These were the nettles I fell into (pic is a bit blurry but we'll say it's artistic), you might just be able to make out the reflection of me in them

It strikes me that it is so old it probably wouldn't be good to eat anyway. But don't let me stop you.
