Description:

This is one of the most poisonous mushrooms in known in Colorado. They always grow from wood. They sometimes have a ring on the stem.

This is a good reason why it is best to avoid any LBMs (Little Brown Mushrooms). There are so many and they can become very difficult to identify to species.
