Poisonous But Pretty - Deadly Galerina Mushrooms

More important than knowing which mushrooms are edible is knowing which ones are poisonous. This is a mushroom called Galerina Marginata. Here is a link to the identification info. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/galerina_marginata.html

These grow on very rotten logs. They were growing right beside some honey mushrooms which are edible and are a similar color. Sometimes Identification is tricky.

Above are the Galerina and the Honey side by side.

Here is a picture of the honey mushrooms. They are from the genus Armillaria. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/armillaria.html They grow on rotting wood and are sometimes parasitic.

And now for the obligatory warning:
THIS POST IS NOT INTENDED FOR FORAGING PURPOSES AND TO USE IT FOR THOSE PURPOSES WOULD BE DANGEROUS. DO NOT HUNT WILD MUSHROOMS WITHOUT RELYING ON A COMBINATION OF PROFESSIONAL FIELD GUIDES, IN PERSON PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE, OR IN PERSON GUIDANCE BY SOMEONE TRUSTWORTHY WHO HAS COPIOUS LOCAL, SPECIALIZED MUSHROOM HUNTING EXPERIENCE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN GRIEVOUS PERSONAL HARM OR DEATH.
Thank you to @dber for this thorough mushroom warning.
