Mushroom: Yellow Parasol Mushroom (Leucocoprinus birnbaumii/Lepiota lutea)

September 16th, 2014. This is the first time I have seen this mushroom. It was growing in the grass at the edge of the roadway. It is an exquisite lemon-yellow color – just like the photographs I had seen. Apparently it’s not uncommon for this mushroom to turns up in flower pots.
