What is lepiota cristata?

Lepiota cristata, commonly known as the Stinking Dapperling, is a species of mushroom in the family Agaricaceae. The cap of the mushroom is white or cream-colored, and it can grow up to 12 cm in diameter. The mushroom has a slightly unpleasant smell, which is more pronounced when the cap is cut or crushed. The stem is white and covered with small scales. It can grow up to 15 cm in height and 2.5 cm in diameter. The mushroom is found in deciduous or coniferous forests, typically growing on the ground in clusters. It is distributed throughout Europe and North America. The Stinking Dapperling is not generally considered to be edible because of its unpleasant smell and taste. However, it is not considered toxic and is unlikely to cause serious harm if ingested in small quantities.
