| Macrolepiota clelandii | August 31 2024 | Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia |
Macrolepiota clelandii is an interesting species of fungus in the world of mycology, known by the common name "cleland parasol" and this fungus is included in the macrolepiotaceae family, the characteristic of this fungus is that the mushroom cap has a white color with a slight grayish admixture and has a height of up to 10-25 cm in diameter, with a smooth and slightly wrinkled surface, and the bottom of the mushroom cap or lamella is white and turns brown as the mushroom ages.
Even though this mushroom "Macrolepiota clelandii" has an attractive appearance, you need to be careful when identifying it, because several types of mushrooms from the same genus have some poisonous mushrooms, these mushrooms are usually found in damp and shady forests, but I feel lucky because I found this mushroom growing in the container where I planted sweet potatoes, I noticed this mushroom growing from organic material, namely a mixture of rotten straw and animal feed waste, and I didn't think about consuming it because my analysis temporarily showed that this mushroom was a poisonous type, this can be proven on the mushroom ring found on the mushroom stem.
