This is a video of how to Identify the "Shaggy Parasol" mushroom, AKA Chlorophyllum Rhacodes, C. Olivieri.

A delicious saprobic mushroom, meaning that it grows on decaying matter rather than mycorrhizal fungi that need certain trees to grow. This mushroom can be found in the Pacific Northwest growing in deciduous forests, meadows, horse pastures, on the borders of woodlands, in tall grass, well...pretty much anywhere.
They usually grow in large abundant patches and can easily be identified by the moveable ring on the stipe, the shaggy top, and the reddish staining and bruising.
A somewhat fragile, large, and delicious edible mushroom that you should learn to forage and bring home to your dinner table.
