[SHRED]

I have never seen one like this.
It is a lot more yellow than the pics.

4. "Quite tasty"- not a smart comment

unless you can document with 100% accuracy that you know it's edible, you shouldn't tell anyone it's okay to eat ANY variety of 'shroom or toadstool. It could be a fatal mistake.

If it was a facetious comment, it would be best to indicate so.

5. it wouldn't be MY fatal mistake...

just doing my part to keep the gene pool from losing more IQ points.

11. Here, try some of this...

12. There's no such thing as 100% accuracy

Experts get fooled all the time... and pay the price!

(Back in the '80's 2 mycology professors from Santa Cruz had to have emergency liver transplants after eating a BAD mushroom they picked in the woods... even "puffballs" can be deadly!)

9. Absolutely gorgeous

You should enter it in the next DU photography contest. I can try to ID it, perhaps.

[SHRED]

10. Okay...how?

[Elidor]

18. There's a photography group

Here on DU. They have monthly contests. You can post an entry. I've already started looking into what species that might be. I've never seen anything like it. Very nice fungus. :thumbsup:

19. "Lemon Yellow Lepiotia" ?

Thanks for the photo group contest suggestion.

[Elidor]

21. Yes!

That's what I was about to post: Lepiota lutea. Supposedly it's very common, but I've never seen one before. The photos I found weren't half as beautiful as yours.

[SHRED]

22. Thanks...they just concluded entries...

for this month over on the Photo Group.

Next month I will enter.
Way cool...thanks again!

[Hatalles]

13. Sorry, that's not one of 'em. You still have no morels.

14. Hey Hey Hey.....over here

It looks like a "Lemon Yellow Lepiotia" It's poisonus. I looked it up in my Audubon field guild to Mushrooms. Google the name and see what you get.

[SHRED]

16. Thanks I think you are correct!

It grew in my front lawn here in coastal north san diego county.

[LynzM]

17. Wow! That is beautiful!

It looks like a lovely lampshade, to me. No idea about what it might be, though...

20. "Mushroom outside my front door"

Sounds like the opening line to a really great song! :hippie:

23. Or a fantasy story...;)

I remember the shroom daze.
