 Volvariella species 02 (MushroomExpert.Com)
The collection was a big surprise to me, since Volvariella is a genus that is centered in the tropics, with only a dozen or so species ranging into north-temperate areas and then only fruiting in warmer weather (though I have collected Volvariella speciosa in Illinois in late May).
One possibility is that I found a brownish variety of Volvariella bombycina--but the cap of my specimen is not prominently hairy, and it was not growing on wood.
Volvariella bakeri is also similar, but while it grows on wood or on the ground, it is distributed in the Caribbean and in Mexico (a difference made even more prominent by my April collection date), has a more prominently hairy cap, and has larger spores.

 Deathcap mushroom - Amanita phalloides
The Straw Mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) is grown and eaten through a large part of Asia but it does not grow naturally in Australia.
However the species Volvariella speciosa is found naturally in many parts of Australia and looks very similar to the Straw Mushroom.
However, in Volvariella there is no ring on the stem and the gills are pale pinkish-brown, rather than white.

 Volvariella
Unfortunately, it is to easy to mistake the Death Cap mushroom, Amanita phalloides and other amanitas, for this edible species due to similarity in appearance.
Volvariella and Amanita cannot be distinguished in the early "button stage", that, for many, is the "best" stage to collect Volvariella for consumption.
Like Amanita, the Paddy straw has a volva, or universal veil, so called because it is a membrane that encapsulates the entire mushroom when it is young.

 Fungi On Woodchips
Since the shrubbery was created by the car park at Birkacre and the ground mulched with woodchips, I have been fascinated by the fungi which have colonised.
Also in 1995 were hundreds of the small Ink-cap with a long stipe and woolly cap, Coprinus lagopus, some of the bluish-green Verdigris Agaric, Stropharia aeruginosa, and a few of the bright orange Stropharia aurantiaca.
The numbers of Volvariella speciosa declined in subsequent years and one fruiting body seen in October 1998 was the last recorded.
