Oh yes, I checked the last link! Severe poisonous mushroom, The pretty Fairy Ring! That would be a fatal mistake! I do not eat any Mushrooms AshishNimkar.
Because I am not an expert on fungi, I just take the photos for a form of art. My major is information science not biology! Lol

It's not M rachodes, for sure. I have those. I checked both those links and they don't look like p.young713's photo. Nor is it A muscaria. I am definitely curious

Its a Macrolepiota rachodes! Not similar to your Link!

No, not really. Death cap in an amanita... in particular http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_pha...

Pet peeve, is seeing people ID any unknown mushroom as a death cap. No one shouldn't eat a mushroom until all doubt is past! But to just call them all death caps is irresponsible too.

Without a better photo of the top, I'm not even sure this is an amanita! It looks more like lepiota or false lepiota. Which means maybe poisonous, or not
