Button mushroom? ID help.

nepenthes_ak · 10-28-07, 16:00

Found these today, Rained the past couple days allot, Its about 60*f outside, kinda cool breezy. Been getting in the 40's 50's out side. In just my grassy yard in the open field not much shade where i found them. MY gf is such a great mushroom modeler!

thanks.

Not a button mushroom. It looks very much like the Destroying Angel (Amanita virosa) but I suspect its some sort of Lepiota. It is best to leave those alone.

agreed, from the looks of it, leave it alone.

Sure is pretty though.

srgtm1a · 10-28-07, 23:04

they always are.

Yeah, that's how the get you.

There aren't many good rules in regards to mushrooms, but one holds true- never eat an all-white mushroom.

Could argue with that, for example puffermushrooms

and albinos, I guess. Oh well, there goes another rule out the window.
