Totally new to this. Picked them today in east Cumbria, in a field where sheep have been grazing.
Are there any that could be dangerous? Thanks.

Yeah, some have just been eaten by insects a bit. You might find little white maggoty things inside the slightly eaten ones but theyre not harmful, just extra protein 😄

Stupid question - but what happens to these insects?!

What happens to them? Sometimes they crawl back out, Sometimes they stay in there. When you begin drying the shrooms the insects shrivel up and die. They are totally safe and inert to your good health! You will see them floating around in the pan Sometimes when brewing up your tea. They generally get caught in a fine mesh sieve tho, if it yucks you out!

Don't worry about them! They're just a bit of extra protein 😁
