The volvariela/volvopluteus species in the top right are marked as "M" (deadly) but they're actually choice edibles. Volvariella volvacea the Straw Paddy Mushroom is cultivated and sold widely in Asia.

I suspect they're marked wrong here due to a combination of Western European mycophobia and the fact that they're easily confused for deadly Amanitas by beginners.
