Same thing Ashish. Hey Rachael - whenever you get mushrooms try to shoot the stipe (stem) and the underside as well. They can be so important for ID's.

The shaggy parasol is popularly praised as a choice edible mushroom. However, it contains toxins which can cause gastric upsets when eaten raw or undercooked, and some individuals show a strong allergic response even after cooking.
