parasol mushroom (macrolepiota procera)
Went on a dog walk in the woodland near my home and discovered four mushrooms growing in the field last month. According to a mushroom app they are parasol mushrooms (macrolepiota procera). Since its Autumn, should hopefully discover many more.

FOTD #124 : false parasol! (chlorophyllum molybdites)
the false parasol (AKA green-spored parasol, green-spored lepiota, green gill or vomiter) is a widespread agaric fungus. it most often grows on lawns or in parks, especially in areas near human habitation..- it is very often confused with the parasol mushroom (macrolepiota procera).
the big question : can i bite it??
no !! they are poisonous. though consumption has never lead to death, the symptoms* are very unpleasant. most mushroom poisonings in the US are due to this mushroom.
c. molybdites description :
"it is an imposing mushroom with a cap ranging from 8 to 30 cm in diameter, hemispherical & with a flattened top. the cap is whitish in colour with coarse brownish scales. the gills are free & white, usually turning dark & green with maturity. it has a rare green spore print. the stipe ranges from 5 to 30 cm tall & bears a double-edged ring. its stem lacks the snakeskin pattern that is generally present on the parasol mushroom. flesh thick, firm at first, soft with age, white, unchanging or sporadically becoming reddish-brown to pale reddish-pink, almost orange in the base of the foot when cut or crushed."

[fungus description : source]
*symptoms include : vomiting, diarrhoea & colic, often severe, occurring 1–3 hours after consumption.
