Woman reports theft of green mushroom growing in her front lawn

    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.
