Fungi Friday - A Surprise Mushroom
Here are a few fungi finds from earlier this fall for #fungifriday by @ewkaw

Look at this unassuming mushroom in the grass. I stopped only to look at it because it had a slight blueish color on the cap in the center.

I picked it and the blue kind of resembled bruising that happens to boletes.

But boletes don't have these amazing orange gills on them. I even sliced the gills to test if there was any milk coming out of them.

I vaguely remember finding this mushroom on mushroomobserver.com a long time ago. It was an edible mushrooms but I couldn't find its Latin name again... Never overestimate a mushroom that looks plain from the top.

Here is a fairly large parasol mushroom that can be confused with an edible Macrolepiota procera.

I flipped it over and noticed the gills were quite green. This on is often called the green vomiter as people harvest them thinking they are the edible parasol mushroom then end up with stomach aches and vomiting.

Fortunately it is easy to id these when you know about the green gills. Their Latin name is Chlorophyllum molybdites.

Now for the edible version Macrolepiota procera. As you can see they are quite large. 
![PSX_20231124_085530.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sketch.and.jam/23uQmv838p5bgxUvAuiHMamSoj5FVNFfrdHz9SWCcHuGQdgjny1Pfa5iYyZJzMFaAKfFm.jpg)
Also notice the nice ring around the stem and white gills.

Here you can really see the lack of green in the gills. Also I find that the edible Macrolepiota procera is a bit larger than the green vomiter. 

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
