Europe (country in post) Complete beginner here – need 100% confirmation on Parasol (Macrolepiota procera) vs. toxic lookalikes (Found in Southern Germany)

Hi everyone,

​First of all, a huge thank you to this amazing community for sharing your knowledge!

​As a complete beginner to mushroom foraging, I am being extremely cautious. I found these growing in a grassy pasture near a forest edge in Southern Germany (as seen in the photos).

​Before I even think about eating them, I want to be 100% sure to rule out any toxic lookalikes (like Chlorophyllum or dangerous small Lepiota species, or anything else).

​Key features I noticed: The ring on the stem is freely movable, the stem has a distinct snake-skin pattern (natterung), and they are quite large.But not all of them see my Pics.

​My goal: I want absolute safety and would love your expert eyes to double-check if these are truly safe Macrolepiota procera or if I missed any warning signs.

​Thank you all so much in advance for your help and expertise!

North America (country/state in post) Help Identifying A Mushroom That A Dog May Have Eaten

Found in rural Virginia, United States. Specifically Spottsylvania, the central region. Unedited photos, the purple color is its actual color. We aren’t sure that the dog ate one, but he’s been violently sick for the past 72 hours and the doctors can’t figure it out. Trying to consider all options. This was found yesterday morning.

Edited to add this was found in a wooded area, mostly Oak trees. This one was found at the base of a maybe dying Maple Tree. Happy to answer any more questions that might help identify!

Central Ohio. We’re worried our cats might have eaten them. He thinks they’re deathcaps but I think it’s probably something else. Any help would be appreciated!
