0 Allan Bell Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Sorry to muddy the waters but I would say (looking in my book on fungi) colour does not look right for Shaggy Parasol. Colouring is more akin to Parasol Mushroom (Macrolepiota procera) Creamy white/ nut brown. Allan Edited October 22, 2021 by Allan Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Alan Beastall Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Thanks Allan, a difficult call. Both suggestion look very simular to the images. I can revisit the site in a few days to see how the toadstool as developed or try eating one. One type is edible and the other is not 🤮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Brizbee Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hi Alan. From my own book of fungi I tend to agree with Sharon, an immature Shaggy Parasol (macrolepiota rhacodes or lepiota rhacodes). The darker orange and red colours appear as it matures. If you get back to the site check the stem. If it has alternating brown and white horizontal lines on it, it's a Parasol Mushroom (macrolepiota procera or lepiota procera). If not then it's the other. Brian.

Seems to ring a bell (ha ha) but can't place him. Allan Found him. Following quote from Wikipedia. "Alan Alan (born Alan Rabinowitz, 30 November 1926 – 4 July 2014) was a British escapologist and magician. He originated tricks that have subsequently become familiar features of the repertoire of other performers and he was honoured by The Magic Circle."
