We were out on a new bush walk we discovered not far from our house and on the way along the path I spotted this wee fellow. I like finding things that are different and kind of weird so mushrooms and fungi tend to appeal to me.
After much googling I found out this one is known as Green Spored Lepiota or Chlorophyllum Molybdites and he is not edible at all. Apparently if it's consumed it can caused gastrointestinal problems.
Think I'll stick to the ones I buy in the supermarket.

Ooooh que foto más buena.
This restaurant in Canberra served freshly foraged mushrooms and killed someone!! I'm with you on the supermarket ones...
It has interesting textures.
I agree with you. I don't take chances with wild mushrooms. This one is a beauty, though.
My post features a visit to Seattle's Volunteer Park Conservatory.
Fungi is there to be admired and not touched is my motto. I would never be able to trust my own identification.
Don't blame you , my days of forrageing mushrooms ar long gone
Of course you have autumn now. By us in the Netherlands we have spring and the fungi are disappeared. Its always amazing how big our world is.
The wee fellow is not so good but the photography is superb.
Nice to discover in the wild but I stick to supermarket mushrooms too!
I like the white button or flat mushroom varieties from the store. I just am not comfortable enough to forage for wild mushrooms.
Ditto! I prefer the packaged and inspected kind best!
How nice to meet you! That's a great photo and thanks for the info, too. He has lovel spots.
I am so glad you chose to join My Corner of the World this week!

You and my daughter would get on so well Amy, she also noticed every interesting thing when we go bushwalking.. I tend to miss a lot 😊
One of the just-to-look-at, never-to-eat varieties. It's amazing the damage some mushrooms can do while others are so tasty.
That's scary what some mushrooms can do to you. Fortunately for me, I don't eat mushrooms, don't care for them.
