I don't want to many any assumptions!
Hi and a warm welcome sorry if we made it more complicated than it needed to be. Over the years as identification techniques improve and especially now with DNA testing some fungi has changed from one name to another. Chlorophyllum rhacodes is one. Most of us knew it as Lepiota rhacodes it then moved to Macrolepiota rhacodes and now (at least for the time being) it has moved to Chlorophyllum rhacodes. But don't get bogged down with such things (yet) just enjoy fungi and this forum.
