Woman reports theft of green mushroom growing in her front lawn

An Athens, Georgia, woman reported that 15 pots and a green mushroom were stolen from her yard and garage according to an Athens-Clarke County Police report.

That looks like a Parrot Waxcap. They're supposedly edible in small quantities. Green mystery 'shroom, I think I'd just leave it well alone.

And yes, you're right, it is a Parrot Wax Cap.

ironically the green parrot waxcap image is mine and I was not asked permission to use it.
