This is a re-release of a video I did on the mushroom channel. It seemed to help a lot of people looking at mushrooms in their yard so I hope it continues to be useful.

The Green-Spored Parasol mushroom, Latin name Chlorophyllum molybdites, is responsible for many mushroom poisonings in the United States. David Arora, in his seminal work Mushrooms Demystified, claims that this mushroom causes more poisonings than any other species that grows in the U.S., and Dr. Michael Beug, a highly respected mycologist from Washington state, wrote a paper about mushroom poisoning and concluded that Green-Spored Parasols are indeed the cause of more poisonings than other North American fungi. Arora maintains this is largely because the Green-Spored Parasol is a common terrestrial species that grows abundantly in lawns, gardens, and other places where they’re tempting to people who would not normally hunt for edible fungi.
