Field Notes

Description:

This mushroom was found by itself. It wasn't in groups. (Only single mushroom standing alone) Its diameter was 2.5cm. Its top and the part to keep the mushroom standing was white but on the middle of the top of the mushroom, there is a brown spot.

Habitat:

A secondary rainforest in Singapore. The rainforest contains lots of spiders and it is very damp and wet.

Notes:

The mushroom is shaped like a lady's parasol, so it was named as parasol mushroom.

In no way is this a Macrolepiota Procera, this kind of mushroom grows to be 40 cm high or higher. The largest specimen I ever saw was about 70 cm high with a diameter about the same size, so it was huge. This mushroom is a tiny one, about 1 cm in diameter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrolepiota_procera take a look at the description please
