I've a feeling those wriggly gills are an individual accident.
I hope Father Christmas has been informed of your request. I use 'Champignons de Provence' and a couple of others. Nothing in English so I need latin names. What, for instance, is sickener?
My same query on WAB got kicked out as they said it was not a British species!!

Sorry about WAB, especially as I suggested it
.
The Sickener is another - Russula Sp. - R. emetica. It says in my Collins that it is hot and edible - but I won't be checking out! Found in mainly coniferous forests.
There is also a Beechwood Sickener - Russula mairei , found in groups indeciduous woodland under Beech trees and is regarded as mildly poisoness and causes stomach upsets. It was probably this one I found.
I am feeling rather hopeful about the book - I have been particularly good this year
