If you're set on trying to eat some it's best to ID them as soon as possible and make some spore prints on black paper also. I'll send you some photos of the boletus pages of the Roger Phillips book, as they're one of the easiest family to ID. Oyster mushrooms and the couple of edible tree polypores are pretty safe also.
But yeah, don't do it if you're not sure, and finding someone to guide you is well worth it

Picked a bucket-full of mushrooms today in Scotland.
Can anyone recommend the go-to guide for identifying them and ensuring I dont poison myself?
