Hi musicalsky. This is an edible mushroom and not the destroying angel. Please put CorduneanuVlad's suggestion in - I believe he has the right one. This spotting is a good example of why it is important to put scientific names in only if you are certain because someone might eat the wrong thing. Otherwise you should leave it blank. Thanks... BTW you've done a great job with the pics for this one... enough information by showing all parts well. :-)
