File:Chlorophyllum rhacodes LC0093.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Chlorophyllum rhacodes LC0093.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 27, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-11-27. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 18:21, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

A shaggy parasol mushroom, with its cap not yet opened. The common name applies to two closely related species, Chlorophyllum rhacodes and C. brunneum, both of which are found in North America and Europe, with the latter species also present in Australia. The stem typically grows to 10 to 20 cm (4–8 in) tall, and the cap grows to 7.5 to 20 cm (3–8 in) across. Shaggy parasols are edible, but are very similar in appearance to the poisonous Chlorophyllum molybdites. Because the two can only be reliably identified by spore print, they are not recommended for inexperienced hunters.Photo: Jörg Hempel

Edibility Discussion

At least in Europe, Chlorophyllum brunneum is considered to be toxic, causing severe gastrointestinal disease, while Chlorophyllum rhacodes (not rachodes, as this article claimed the name is spelled a few minutes ago) and C. olivieri are considered edible and very tasty. Why should this be different in north america and even if it is so, the english wikipedia page is not only read by people in the US, so I'm pretty sure the subject of edibility of the different species lumped together as "Shaggy Parasol" in this article should be discussed in more detail here. Sources for the toxicity of C. brunneum (unfortunately all in German, but I'm sure you're all skilled enough to be able to translate a homepage via google translate): http://pilzbuch.pilzwelten.de/garten-safranschirmling/chlorophyllum-brunneum.html, http://www.tintling.com/pilzbuch/arten/c/Chlorophyllum_brunneum.html, https://www.123pilzsuche-2.de/daten/details/Gartenschirmling.htm, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeiner_Safranschirmling#Artabgrenzung Also, those three species C. rhacodes, C. olivieri and C. brunneum look very different from each other, even in North America, so their description should mention this. Compare for instance https://www.mushroomexpert.com/chlorophyllum_brunneum.html, https://www.mushroomexpert.com/chlorophyllum_rhacodes.html and https://pilzbuch.pilzwelten.de/olivbrauner-safranschirmling/chlorophyllum-olivieri.html 5.146.47.186 (talk) 01:40, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
