While walking my dog this AM, I spotted some wild mushrooms growing in a grass lot, which I had never run across before today.

I didn't notice them there yesterday, but last night's rain must have brought them out.

They're called Shaggy Mane, and (per a mushroom collector website) are very edible, so I decided to eat them.

I knew that they don't "keep", so I rinsed them off, chopped them up & put them in our brunch omelets (I made omelets for my wife & I ), along with some cheese & diced onion.

They were mild-tasting, but good too - I don't think that type will stand up (not be tasted) in a heartier meal (like spicy soups or stews).

We had a very wet period this summer, with the appearance of lots of mushrooms, especially "fairy ring" mushrooms. Unfortunately, it also included the appearance in my yard of "stinkhorn" mushrooms---bright orange, with a terrible smell. :(
 
With all the rain we’ve had I see mushrooms sprouting up all over too. I wouldn’t know an edible from not so they get left alone.
 
I never wanted to try mushrooms or toadstools. I remember seeing where they grew out in the horse pasture.

They are also known as “inky caps”. As they age the tips of the caps curl up, and liquefy. Here is more info: http://www.mykoweb.com/cookbook/shaggymane.html
