The mushroom from Outer Space

20141011_121931
One of the strange fungi that one might stumble upon on a foray: Stropharia aeruginosaNot edible. Note that the stipe is white above the ring.
Easily confused with Stropharia caeruleawhich is as weird-looking but has a thin, filmsy ring (which easily falls off), grows on manure and has white mycel often hanging from the base.
