Mushrooms grow out of rotting organic matter. Oyster mushrooms are all safe to eat so I would imagine that even the toilet shrooms are fine.

Probably a terrible idea, but would these in any way be safe to eat?
Obviously not the toilet mushrooms, but maybe the ones growing out of the chair, cracks in the floor etc would be safe to cook if washed?

You can always try the chew test.
Chew a bit and see if you die in 24 hours. If you don’t, eat away!

I feel like this system is flawed but I don’t know enough about mushrooms to refute it

The way to fix this test is to feed some to the landlord first.

Some mushrooms can be poisonous after 24h, just in case. angel wing mushroom shows no digestive symptoms but encephalopathy after 2 day to 1 month of latent period. The mushroom was known to be edible for a long time. Were it not for full screening for encephalopathy cases (enforced due to SARS spread back in 2004), it could’ve remain “edible” still now.

Most certainly not. Fungi/plants take up and bioaccumulate compounds.
