I wouldn't dare eat anything I found!
You're welcome. I spent two years trying to solidify the ID on Chlorophyllum rhachodes, because I didn't want to poison myself! I almost waited too long, but I'm getting the colony to come back and I enjoy them every so often in my omelettes. Just don't try that with yours!
Thank you Karen & Jacob!
Very closely resembles Chlorophyllum rhacodes which I have growing in my yard. A spore print will show yours having a greenish spore, while mine is white. Yours likes warm weather and mine tends to come out in cool, changing weather. I need to post some pics I took of mine which pre-saged our current cool wet spell
Wonderful fungi, and great job with the ID, Karen!
