Saw this community pop up on my feed and remembered these neat little guys that popped up in my yard a couple months back so I thought I'd share.

I was pretty sad when the guy who mows our lawn murdered them. They were pretty big! Seemed to practically pop up overnight too!

Looks like chlorophyllum molybdites. If you find anymore check the underside for a green tint or take a spore print and it should have green spores.

I'll give that a try! I've never taken a spore print before.

Is there any way to preserve a spore print once you have one on paper? I feel like that could look pretty neat to make the spore print, write down the ID, date and location it was found for a neat sort of artwork/learning tool.

As long as you don't touch it much it won't go away, maybe laminate it? Idk Ive never tried
