Shaggy parasol mushroom
A shaggy parasol mushroom, with its cap not yet opened. The common name applies to two closely related species, Chlorophyllum rhacodes and C. brunneum, both of which are found in North America and Europe, with the latter species also present in Australia. The stem typically grows to 10 to 20 cm (4–8 in) tall, and the cap grows to 7.5 to 20 cm (3–8 in) across. Shaggy parasols are edible, but are very similar in appearance to the poisonous Chlorophyllum molybdites. Because the two can only be reliably identified by spore print, they are not recommended for inexperienced hunters.Photo: Jörg Hempel

Edibility Discussion[edit]

At least in Europe, Chlorophyllum brunneum is considered to be toxic, causing severe gastrointestinal disease, while Chlorophyllum rhacodes (not rachodes, as this article claimed the name is spelled a few minutes ago) and C. olivieri are considered edible and very tasty. Why should this be different in north america and even if it is so, the english wikipedia page is not only read by people in the US, so I'm pretty sure the subject of edibility of the different species lumped together as "Shaggy Parasol" in this article should be discussed in more detail here. Sources for the toxicity of C. brunneum (unfortunately all in German, but I'm sure you're all skilled enough to be able to translate a homepage via google translate): http://pilzbuch.pilzwelten.de/garten-safranschirmling/chlorophyllum-brunneum.html, http://www.tintling.com/pilzbuch/arten/c/Chlorophyllum_brunneum.html, https://www.123pilzsuche-2.de/daten/details/Gartenschirmling.htm, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeiner_Safranschirmling#Artabgrenzung Also, those three species C. rhacodes, C. olivieri and C. brunneum look very different from each other, even in North America, so their description should mention this.
