False Morel?

[fedshtkpndrk]

I was walking out of my apartment and I wasnt paying much attention to anything but where I was going. I came across this guy; at first I thought it may be a false morel, but it kinda looks like a young Amanita. I will check up on it a little but later if no one is careless and steps on him. Any thoughts?

coprinus comatus (shaggy mane) and at perfect harvesting form! if the gills are black it's too late, but that one looks nice!

Very Cool a big thanks to all.

The most interesting of it all is that I live in a very low humidity enviroment, to find any type of mushroom around here is cool to me. Thanks again.
