Are mushrooms with small amount of "fluff" growing on them dangerous?

I've got some mushrooms that were fine two days ago but have had a small growth of fluff on them. It washes off fine. Are these safe to eat if I cook them?

    I would not eat them, mushrooms are a bit dodgy when they are on the turn i think would be inclined to leave them out.

    I've had a bit of a bad run of letting things go off this last week or two. It doesn't help when I'm out of the house for a night or two.

    I peel mushrooms if the skin is going slimy or fuzzy. Never had a problem.
