Possible Shaggy Parasol, Oregon
    #9328337 -

Habitat:
Growing in miscellaneous debris at the edge of a filbert orchard. Willamette Valley Oregon

Gills:
White, attachment unknown

Stem:
Stem 3-4" tall, about half an inch wide at top. Smooth with a vertical grain, slight bulb at the base of the stipe. Very obvious ring around the stipe.

Cap:
2-3" in diameter (not fully matured). Very soft scales that are brownish. Cap itself is white and feels very soft.

Bruising:
VERY light tan bruising, if any.

Pictures:



Other: I looked this one up in All That the Rain Promises and More... by David Arora and the closest match is Lepiota rachodes (Shaggy parasol). Also see page 279 of Mushrooms Demystified also by David Arora. I ran the key in MD and it was the only match I could find.

lepiota rhacodes is now Chlorophyllum rhacodes and that seems to be a good fit for what you have. Just make sure the spore print is white.

I had the closely related macrolepiota procera awhile ago and it was SOOOO delicious. Shaggy parasols really are wonderful just sauteed in some butter. Congrats on the great find, just remember to spore print it to be sure.

Chlorophyllum olivieri might be a better match.Also edible and choice but makes some folks sick.

Damn. It looks like the only really discernible difference between rachodes and olivieri is stem height to cap diameter ratio.

Fool (since dude is new) might be a little much. When you're dealing with Chloropyllum it's best to tiptoe.:drunk:

I didn't eat it. Last time I brought home a mushroom to eat (shaggy mane) my roomates freaked out. One thought I was trying to get high, the other just thought I was going to poison myself. Neither of them are really drug friendly. I'd have eaten them if they were out of town. Luckily I've seen them growing in the same spot, so I know I can check back occasionally.

Then again, I'm really not sure I want to munch on anything that could upset my stomach. If it was to get high, sure, but just for eats... meh.

I've heard of eating shaggy manes in omelets, but not shaggy parasols... I'll have to try that...
