Mushroom in the frontyard.

Parnell:
Don't be concerned about making sauteed mushrooms with these.  I know better.
I'm going to try to ID them, I've just been curious about what they are over the years.
I'll see if I can find info through U of F, Eddie.

Thwackaddict:
when in doubt toss em out ;)

Hillbilly:
That looks to me like a Chlorophyllum molybdites (green-spored Lepiota.) If so, they're quite poisonous and are one of the major causes of mushroom poisoning in the US because so many people mistake them for shaggy parosols. There has been at least one death recorded from eating this mushroom. It's also the only mushroom (in the US anyway) that has a green spore print, an easy way to ID it for sure.

Postman:
My neighbor has a huge Chlorophyllum fairy ring in her yard once a summer.they can look like parasols early out of the egg stage.

mullet:
 Steve, I couldn't remember the name but that's the one. I saw those in my neighbor's yard and looked them up. The UF's site is good, but they cover their ass so good they leave it up to you to make the decision to bite it.
