Extract from Wikipedia article: Shaggy parasol is the common name for three closely related species of mushroom, Chlorophyllum rhacodes, C. olivieri and C. brunneum, found in North America, Europe and Southern Africa (the latter species is also found in Australia).
Chlorophyllum rhacodes is a species of fungus that grows in fields, meadows, and woodland edges. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to October, often in areas with rich soil and abundant organic matter. The fungus has a greenish-yellow to yellow cap, 4-10 cm in diameter, and a white to yellowish stem, 5-10 cm tall. It is considered edible but requires caution due to potential confusion with poisonous lookalikes. Fruitings are often found in urban parks, gardens, and meadows, as well as in rural areas with suitable habitat.
