Stubble Rosegill

volvariella speciosa

Description:

Large, shiny, white fungi. This was in the same region as my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/805... I suspect it's the same fungi but my other pics of this one were somehow corrupted.

Habitat:

Mule Hill trail at Sikes Adobe Farmhouse at Lake Hodges

hi cindy, you're right, those 2 mushrooms look identical, i also suspect the same species. For me they look like, the above mentioned "volvariella speciosa", (eol is busy with maintenance, wikipedia can you look yourself for further info [there also is descripted, that this fungi can easily grow on woodchips], and therefore i entered the google-image link, [there are some very similar looking ones]) So, because you had noticed yourself, i don't need to give a suggestion at the other spotting (i already wanted to do so) ! or ? . Be careful, even if at wikipedia stand it as edible, i think he is easily confused with some mushrooms of the genus: amanita . good luck.
