| |  Dodgy Taxonomy . . . . in a Tin!
I'm not really one for tinned mushrooms - though I remember years ago on the BMS Overseas Foray to Mallorca we were very impressed by tinned Lactarius deliciosus on sale in the local shops - still good texture and flavour 
however when I saw this I couldn't resist - 
something tells me they need to do the microscopy  
cheers
Chris

We got some of these for a dinner party we had once. Very odd looking things. I believe the species is Volvariella volvacea. When you chop them in half you have the baby mushroom inside the veil |

I love the tins of Creamed Mushrooms, great on toast.
