A ginormous agaricus

in photography •  7 years ago 

I came across this giant mushroom yesterday morning after we had had a decent amount of rain.

I am sure my friend @haphazard-hstead , forager of note, would be able to tell me all about this particular beauty. I back searched this photo on Google to try and ascertain what 'class' this particular one falls into. The closest I could come to is Agaricus Campestris although I am fairly sure it is not the exact one

There was a smaller one which was obviously a bit older as it had a slightly longer stem which gave me an opportunity to photograph underneath the cap.

To put the size in context I placed my foot next to it ......

Any smart agaricus cogniscenti out there? I would love to know if these are edible or not.

It's been raining here so we might go mushrooming sometime over the next couple of weeks. I'm glad one of us knows what we're looking for or we'd be in a lot of trouble XD
