We have stacks of mushrooms popping up around the garden now that the weather is cooling off. They’re particularly prominent in the beds where I’ve top-dressed with horse manure. I believe horse urine is used to start mushrooms growing? Can anyone tell me whether these are likely to be edible?

Look like golden tops

They do like to grow in horse poo.
