JOHNY Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 The work colleague who gave them to me says they grow in clusters on her lawn close to forest edge. White spore print Stem base was bulbous and much wider than the rest of the stem. Ring was detachable and would slide. 8+inch cap I was convinced enough that it was an edible parasol that I fried it and stirred it into an incredibly tasty Mushroom Carbonara Pasta But is it really C. rachodes?

vitog Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 It certainly looks like one of the Shaggy Parasols that we get in the southwest BC, C. brunneum, which used to be called C. rhacodes and looks very similar. MushroomExpert.com says that C. brunneum also occurs in eastern N.A. but is very rare. So, I'd say that it is very likely to be C. rhacodes (spelled slightly differently in other sources).
