Fungi and mushrooms seem to grow rapidly, especially in the right moist conditions. This fungus, or is it a wild mushroom?, in Maryvale Downs have grown so fast that their shell cracked by doing so... like baking a cake... I've looked it up and these species look mostly like the Parasol or the Shaggy parasol.
The shaggy parasol is an edible mushroom, but it's advised to eat them only cooked as they contain certain toxics which can upset the stomic when you eat them raw. But take care it does have a poisonous lookalike! Check if the meat bruises orange red if you cut it in half, than you have found the shaggy parasol, a superb mushroom with a delicious nutty-meaty flavor to cook with. If it turns greenish (green spores) than leave it alone!
