Shaggy mane

Tuesday morning on the Bear Valley Trail, Hans, Craig & I spotted this mushroom that none of us had ever seen before; it's about 5 inches tall. Hans researched it and it's almost certainly a shaggy mane mushroom. The shaggy mane is an delicious edible variety but still - I wouldn't bet my life on it by eating this one!! But for those of you brave enough, here are some recipes using it: http://www.mssf.org/cookbook/shaggymane.html
