Shaggy Parasol
Chlorophyllum rhacodes

Field Notes
Description:
An attractive and large carpophore, light brown in color, with somewhat ragged appearance seen from above. The two older carpophores (convexe and brown) were around 20 to 22 cm in diameter, with about 10 to 15 cm tall... Two smaller ones are still whitish and bun-like in form. The flesh in cap and stipe stained orange when cut; and there were a faint nut-fungal smell.
Habitat:
Found on a border of a hedge, on a lawn well covered by various litter, separating an agricultural field (wheat) and a commercial zone of a rural areas of Geneva suburbs.
Notes:
As always with my mushrooms, I'm not 100% sure about the ID, so if you have other ideas, please let me know. At first I thought this was Macrolepiota procera, a famous and appreciated edible mushroom; but then decided against it because of the stipe - not scaly as M. lepiota should be; unlike M. lepiota, there are rests of the partial veil on the margin of the cap; and all four carpophores looks much smaller than what is recorded for M. lepiota (up to 30cm in diameter; and up to 40 in height...)....
