The image shows two mushrooms lying on a dark grey surface.

* The mushroom on the right is cut open, exposing its gills and stem.
* It has a white cap with brown scales, which is typical of the species mentioned in the caption.
* The stem is long and thin, tapering towards the base.
* The gills are white and closely spaced.
* The mushroom on the left is intact but appears to be covered in dirt or debris.
* It has a similar cap shape and size to the other mushroom.
* The stem is also long and thin, but not as exposed as the one on the right.

The image suggests that the mushrooms are Agaricus species, possibly Agaricus blazei. The presence of brown scales on the cap is consistent with this identification. However, without further information or expert analysis, it is difficult to determine the exact species or confirm whether they are edible. – AI vision
