saw some interesting fungus when out walking today. #3 looks like a button mushroom!

#1

Habitat: Relatively dry eucalptus/acacia/sheoak woodland

Gills: Off white/yellowish, crowded, free

Stem: thick, white, solid, ~10cm long, swollen at base

Cap: smooth, white, oval (~8cm x~5cm, convex

Spore print color: still printing, but appears white at this stage

Bruising: No apparent bruising





#2

Habitat - as above

Gills - white, free

Stem - hollow, white fading to brown, ~cm long, not too thick not too thin!  movable ring left on stem from veil. somewhat bulbous at base

Cap - conical to campanulate i guess? white with distinct concentric shaggy brown markings

spore print - looks like it may be white at this stage





#3

Habitat - grassy eucalypt woodland

Gills - had to rip the poor litle guy open to find pinkish brown gills, appear to be seceding maybe

Stem - quite thick and sturdy, white

Cap - white, kind of a rounded square at this stage

Spore print - unavailable





thanks

The first is an Amanita species. Those little pale species are very hard to identify. If you want a more specific ID you could post it to Mushroom Observer and ask Rod Tulloss to comment.

The second is Macrolepiota clelandii.

The last is an Agaricus species. Smell and bruising reaction are important for identifying Agaricus species.

i thought it might be an aminita!

Macrolepiota clelandii is considered edible right?

unfortunately i left the agaricus mushroom where i found it. will be sure to check those characteristics next time

thanks very much!

Yeah Macrolepiota clelandii are edible.

is the difference between Macrolepiota and Lepiota simply the size? I am interested in edible fungi, but it seems like this ones pretty risky with similar looking toxic relatives

Lepiota species don't get nearly as big as Macrolepiota species do. It would be hard to mistake one for the other.

The Agaricus might be edible as well. There are some toxic Agaricus species but they have an unpleasant phenolic smell. The most common toxic Agaricus you will come across is Agaricus xanthodermus which stains bright yellow, making it easy to identify.

think i found an edible aragicus!

habitat- dry eucalypt forest

gills - pink/brown, seceding

cap - white with brown flecked skin, overhangs margin and is easily peeled

stem - solid, white, snaps cleanly off from cap

bruising - slight pinky brown bruising

smell - earthy/woody/mushroomy

also what i believe to be another Macrolepiota clelandii, the features are all the same, except this one has a maroon speckled stain on the gills?

i tried to remove the stem to dislodge some bugs, and it popped out looking like a ball and socket joint!

at what size would you consider a specimen like this safe to eat with no danger of confusing it with the smaller toxic lepiota?

Yeah, that's another M. clelandii. The red staining is normal in that species.

Whenever you eat a new species you should only eat a small amount and cook it well, just to make sure they agree with you.

nice, thanks for the tip... really love the look of these guys out in the forest, hovering high above the ground, almost feel bad for picking them
