No actually it was Conservation....too.. :)
Ashish , You are good at communication.
Yes, You are right! There are a lot of these in Florida!
One more thing you have to find are these mushrooms grow in circle as their characteristic...
Oh yes, I checked the last link! Severe poisonous mushroom, The pretty Fairy Ring! That would be a fatal mistake! I do not eat any Mushrooms AshishNimkar. Because I am not an expert on fungi, I just take the photos for a form of art. My major is information science not biology! Lol
I feel its Chlorophyllum Molybdites... http://www.nemf.org/files/lincoff/fieldkey/lepiotoid_group.html
It's not M rachodes, for sure. I have those. I checked both those links and they don't look like p.young713's photo. Nor is it A muscaria. I am definitely curious
Hahaha...Hope you checked marked..last link...
I do not mind, I come to study nature to find better ways to conversations... :) Here is close match of your mushroom.. http://nolanature.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/fairy-ring-mushrooms-dont-eat/
Ok I checked!!! It looks like it is the Poisonous Amanita Mushroom ! http://academic.evergreen.edu/projects/mushrooms/phm/s32.htm My Apologies, Mr.AshishNimkar!!
Please check... http://www.art.com/gallery/id--b9338/mushroom-posters_p3.htm
Its a Macrolepiota rachodes! Not similar to your Link!
No, not really. Death cap in an amanita... in particular http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_phalloides Pet peeve, is seeing people ID any unknown mushroom as a death cap. No one shouldn't eat a mushroom until all doubt is past! But to just call them all death caps is irresponsible too. Without a better photo of the top, I'm not even sure this is an amanita! It looks more like lepiota or false lepiota. Which means maybe poisonous, or not
