Shaggy parasol mushroom (Chlorophyllum rhacodes), Chepstow, Monmouthshire (lockdown image)
Largest specimen had a cap diameter of about 20cm. Unlike the parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera), which has snakeskin-like markings on the stipe (stem), the shaggy parasol is not good for eating; some may suffer no harm from consuming it, others may have a stomach upset.
