Good to know. Keep on the hunt, we need more people documenting mushrooms from every part of the world. It's a very under-studied subject, they say only 1 in 14 species of fungi have been discovered.

Randy, according to these authors, Wine caps HAVE been observed in Brazil... www.fungaldiversity.org/fdp/sfdp/32-3.pdf

You should post this on MushroomObserver.org and get some expert opinions. If it is a wine cap it would be the furthest south observation of them.

Well, now I have two reasons to go back where I found it: to colect it for registering its presence here, and for to try it... :-)
RandyL.
Also, it is a great edible so the chances of someone introducing it down there are pretty high.

I'm sure it just hasn't been documented down there yet. It's definitely a Stropharia, and I don't know any other species in that genus that have that color or stature.
Sergio Monteiro
Randy, I know you know a lot about fungi, but the link you provided says that it is found in Europe and North America (and more recently in New Zealand)...
