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.

I eat these regularly and have had no problems.
I also have a neighbour who has been eating these for nearly 40 years.
Yeah I think they are established as edible – many people do. Thanks for your comment.
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.
nice!
