You have several photos of amanita muscaria, which are delicious "magical" mushrooms. They contain ibotenic acid, which causes nausea and other unwanted effects. By heating and/or drying, ibotenic acid is fully converted to muscamol, a medicinal compound used for healing, sleep, mental health, etc. That means most people cook or dry these mushrooms before consuming. And you need to monitor how much you ingest.

So... the question "can eat?" is best answered with "it's complicated" instead of "no", in my opinion. : )
