Where to look: parasol

A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.

About the species. Edible when correctly identified, but young unopened fruitbodies are much harder to identify than mature ones and may be confused with dangerous Amanitas or other parasol-like mushrooms. Beginners should leave immature specimens.

A regional boundary means nothing to a mushroom, and the next region is sometimes closer than the far side of your own. The index is for today.
