Amanita muscaria has to be cooked in a specific way and the toxic chemicals leached out through boiling rinsing and repeating. I know people who eat them that way. Have you heard it being called the Christmas mushroom and the story behind it?

I don't.
It would be interesting to know, though.

The creamy flowery ones I'm not sure if it's a mushroom or a different plant?

Yes, they are plants. Flowers even. I am not sure exactly what they are in Poland, but in North America I know of Pinesap and Indian Pipe - chlorophyll-less parasitic plants. Very pretty in an unusual way.

My brother did when we were teenagers. Picked them straight from underneath a Dougls-fir in the yard.

It was a while ago so I don’t remember all the details but he definitely threw up, became incredibly sweaty, and wanted to wander around the woods.

You're close but No! Any other guesses?
Hopefully you will never find this species in the USA- there's another clue!

Sorry to contradict you but Fungi are not actually plants!!
Scientists put fungi in their own separate kingdom, separate from plants, animals and other organisms.

Yes ! Hymenoscyphus fraxineus ( AKA Chalara fraxinea) causes Ash Dieback. T
Tragically this fungal pathogen is devastating Ash trees in Britain and Europe .We stand to lose most of our Ash forests to it. :(
Lets hope it never reaches North America🤞. See link below for more details

We have emerald ash borers so we’re all set. Nature has a bone to pick with ash trees I guess!

I hear them called ghost pipes, usually a good sign that fungi are near or close behind in terms of timing. If we keep having as much rain as we've had, we should have a good picking season.
