Comment on Chlorophyllum sp. (6223)

Summary: Chlorophyllum sp.

Comment: Without seeing the underside and the base of the stalk I can’t give you a species. There are three species in this genus in southern California. One is considered toxic (C. molybdites). The other two taste great, but many people are ‘sensitive’ to it (meaning it makes them puke :-)). Based on the habitat and time of year I would guess it’s not C. molybdites since that tends to fruit in warm weather on lawns, but can’t rule it out.
