The second day of this mushroom's existence proved interesting. The cap opened up to about 4" across. The gills started to turn brown, and insecting were already beginning to devour it. The stalk and cap remained ivory white. I'm going to identify the shroom as Amanita virosa, a.k.a. Destroying Angel. On the third day, the mushroom was nothing more than a black puddle of goo with a decaying stalk sticking up out of the ground. The weather has created a perfect mushroom situation. Oyster mushrooms are in abundance, I have seen them everywhere! But I won't eat them unless I have a pro-shroomer to confirm identification.
