Are my mushrooms magic?

Probably not. You would need to go buy a field guide that can help identify things like growing medium/temp/spore print of the hallucinogenic mushrooms in your region. Some are online. Finally, some mushrooms will kill you - for this reason I suggest getting a 500x+ microscope to look at the spores of your captured mushrooms. ONLY THEN CAN YOU BE CERTAIN.

Remember: In the game of mushrooms, ignorance will get you killed.

rep?

yeah i guess that's sensible, but i know plenty of people who pick without the technology. is it really necessary or can you get a good idea with a guide? also, i heard there isn't much in england that's poisonous that's easily confused with the magics. true or false?

I would certainly do as Sanyard says. In fact if you don't have a background in mushrooms or know someone who does FOR SURE. I wouldn't pick and eat anything...

No they are not.

England does have some magic potion spread around, but these my friend lack in that MAGIC! I wouldn't consume....

....like I say if its growing in your backyard its too good to be true!

no, they are not. most magic mushrooms grow under cow shit and such.....
