Shaggy Mane Mushroom ?

ah we need more fungi shots on here nice

That's a strange one Anchorman!

I think it's a Shaggy Ink-Cap or Lawyer's Wig, I was looking at my book earlier to identify one I had taken , a good photo Anchorman !

On another forum it has been suggested this is Shaggy Mane Mushroom

Wonderful looking mushroom!

Wow, that's a corker, AM....I assume it is growing amongst your borders?

The photo was taken by me a couple of years ago in one of my customers gardens.

This is fantastic. Such an unusual mushroom!!

Is it edible? It would grace any meal if it was! Great photo!

They are edible according to what I've just been reading online...but there is a caution to note...they say if you're not familiar with them be sure there is the beginnings of a black ink stain on the underside. They suggest using them in omelets or frying them in butter with either garlic or nutmeg.

I'd still not be brave enough to sample it I'm afraid, GDad.
