Macrolepiota clelandii (the Australian Parasol mushroom)

Just behind my house I was lucky to find a bunch of Australian Parasol mushrooms (Macrolepiota clelandii) growing on the verge of a gravel road as they do every year. Their stem/stipe had the snakeskin pattern seen from Macrolepiota procera which kind of demonstrates how close these are to that mushroom.

This is a quality edible species and phylogenetic examination suggests both it and Macrolepiota dolichaula are very close to the prized edible species Macrolepiota procera.

  1. Just found a bunch of what appears to be this particular fungi on the Sunshine Coast in the forest behind Australia Zoo.

    Going to check for a green spoor print but if not green then mushrooms for breakfast, lunch and tea.
