Large white mushroom with brown-ish gills and dark "rim". Need an ID
    #6087004 - 09/21/06 03:05 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Found this monster growing under some pine trees (Michigan). I don't see them too often, but I think they're too big to disregard. It's about 9 1/2 inches in diameter. I've had it sitting on a piece of paper for no more than 2 hours and it's already left a pretty "bold" print. The spores are the same color as the gills. Any help with an ID would be appreciated. Thanks =)

A human being is part of a whole, called by us, the "Universe", a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Looks like an agaricus. Very cool looking one. I've never seen one that big. What does it smell like? Did it bruise where you cut the stem?

Smells like wood, I guess.. not too strong. Just a faint scent. And nope, no bruising at all.

That's a pretty one. I agree that it is an Agaricus species. It could be edible, but narrowing it down to an edible species is important. There are some toxic species, which could make you sick.

If you want to eat it, you need a positive edible ID. For that, you need a proper description.

To find out how to give a proper description click that link.

Here's the sport print of it. Just figured I'd share.
