Is this mushroom edible?

[Buck]

I found this surprise in my garden. It's probably no good, but I can't seem to find one online.

Let's go with no, it might kill you.

How about you let us know? :priate:

There must be an expert here who can point me to a better website.

If it's poisonous, I might make a brew for the deer who eat my garden.

Ask Paul Stamets. He literally wrote the book on fungus.

Looks to be something in this family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_parasol , Shaggy Parasols

Edible, but there is a poisonous look-alike per the wikipedia page.

Im not an expert, but I used Google Image Search to find this. Agree with Acer it looks like a shaggy parasol. This link advises not eating.

Google "parasol mushroom images". Maybe not shaggy...

Eat at your own risk. Is your health worth saving $3 on store bought?
