BastedBrew Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 You’ll need to take a spore print to confirm, but since it was in the yard it’s probably the toxic c. Molybdites/false parasol/“vomiter” if that’s the case, the gills would turn greenish with age and have a green spore print. My experience with the non-toxic parasol vs toxic here: https://wildmushroomhunting.org/index.php?/topic/3539-chlorophyllum-rhacode-shaggy-parasol/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mushroom Whisperer Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Curious to see the spore print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I think this is a Macrolepiota (classic Parasol). The ornamentation on the stalk looks right... very small dark scales that sometimes form little "chevron" or V shapes. Like has been said, spore print is a good idea here.

Sherwood Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 The spore print for it. I had a hard time finding good light this morning to take the picture. But this is close. Looked to be a real light brown color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Definitely not c.molybdites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Light brown spore print...? Is it possible some moisture seeped into the paper maybe including some pigment from the mushroom? Or, is it possible the thick print is casting a shadow? Aside from C. molybdites (green print) mushrooms from genera Macrolepiota or Chlorophyllum have white spore prints (as far as I know).

The Mushroom Whisperer Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Can you post a pic of the gills after the spores dropped, if you still have the mushroom? Or if there are any others. C. molybdites gills turn olive green with age. But as Dave said, with the stem ornamentation this appears to be Macrolepiota to me. Old gill pics will help!
