meadow mushroom
Grassland edible toadstool
A meadow mushroom is a common edible wild mushroom found in grassy fields and pastures throughout temperate regions.
It closely resembles the cultivated button mushroom sold in stores—white cap, pink-to-brown gills, mild flavor.
Foragers prize them but must distinguish them from toxic lookalikes like the destroying angel.
