Parnell:
These are popping up everywhere on my street.  Anyone know anything about what type they are?

Those lool like what's known as Shaggy Parasols. If you cut the stem, does it turn red or bright pink? If so, what you have is a Shaggy Parasol. They are a choice edible but, here is the caveat. This is only an internet picture and I do not condone eating a mushroom identified by photo only by a guy on the internet.

 Steve;  Go to University of Fla.s website for mushrooms. There is another mushroom that looks almost identical that grows in St. Augustine grass and lawns that is deadly. My neighbor has those too, the size of dinner plates, but I can't tell the difference looking at pictures.

sailordad:
when it comes to wild mushrooms my thoughts are
if you cant immediatly identify,consider it dangerous
why take the chance,like eddie said.others can look like it and be dangerous

Tsalagi:
My wife had a look at the photo and concurs that if it doesn't stain red when cut, it's definitely a bad one. The bad thing about mushroom toxins, when we're talkiing deadly mushrooms, is that there are no antidotes. There's no return ticket on that ride.
