Death cap mentions that "Asian immigrants in North America and Europe often mistake the death cap for the edible paddy straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) due to their similarity in appearance". So I suggest that we mention that on this page as well Bayle Shanks 08:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move proposal

Hmmm..interesting. Technically plants (and fungi I guess) are by extension under their scientific name unless cultivated. We had an issue with Agaricus bisporus as that name was universal, whereas what adjective was placed before mushroom was disputed. Here, I always knew them as Paddy stray mushrooms, or was it padi straw mushrooms...be good to get a clear idea as to which comon name has precendence. maybe best at move page place. cheers, Casliber (talk ยท contribs) 08:20, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
