Onion-stalk lepiota 》 Leucocoprinus cepistipes

So many lil baby fruits! One of the most common mushrooms I see in my local parks, loving all the rain dampened mulch piles. And much marvelous mycelium. 🤍

FOTD #124 : false parasol! (chlorophyllum molybdites)

the false parasol (AKA green-spored parasol, green-spored lepiota, green gill or vomiter) is a widespread agaric fungus. it most often grows on lawns or in parks, especially in areas near human habitation..- it is very often confused with the parasol mushroom (macrolepiota procera).

the big question : can i bite it?? no !! they are poisonous. though consumption has never lead to death, the symptoms* are very unpleasant. most mushroom poisonings in the US are due to this mushroom.

c. molybdites description :

"it is an imposing mushroom with a cap ranging from 8 to 30 cm in diameter, hemispherical & with a flattened top. the cap is whitish in colour with coarse brownish scales. the gills are free & white, usually turning dark & green with maturity. it has a rare green spore print. the stipe ranges from 5 to 30 cm tall & bears a double-edged ring. its stem lacks the snakeskin pattern that is generally present on the parasol mushroom. flesh thick, firm at first, soft with age, white, unchanging or sporadically becoming reddish-brown to pale reddish-pink, almost orange in the base of the foot when cut or crushed."

*symptoms include : vomiting, diarrhoea & colic, often severe, occurring 1–3 hours after consumption.

If the Mushroom Kingdom has a different calendar then I'm headcanoning that there's still a month that begins with Mar- XD

I vote either Marcelium (like mycelium) or Marasma (based of the Marasmius genus of mushrooms)

Anon.. your mind, omg. 🤯 This is genius!!

LOVE the idea of the months, days and even the seasons having mushroom related names. Each Kingdom would have its own thematic calendar, and the one Peach governs would be no different. You've literally found the perfect alternative right there! 👏🏆

I was thinking most of these designations could also potentially be variations of / or actual Latin mushroom names, like Hericium, Lepiota, Agaricus, etc. And there's indeed Marasmius as well, so that could totally work! 😃

I have now 1000% adopted the headcanon of there being a mushroom calendar thanks to you. This concept is absolutely delightful! 🩷🍄
