Dear Prashant, Thank you so much for letting us know about the name of this mushroom. The one in the picture must be two days old. I had seen the first one in the company of a Jane Kurba (tribe) old man, many years ago as a young boy. It was so attractive with rainbow like rings round it. It was fully open like an unbrella. I wished to pick it when the old kurba pushed me aside stating that it is deadly poisonous and as such they call it Kaal Kuppa. The tribals state that anyone touching it with his foot risks the possibility of losing his leg. I am not sure it was a pure coincidence that somebody got gangrene on his foot or the mushroom is really poisonous. I have seen quite a few of these tribals with gangrenous foot. I have come across young men sreaming in pain due to such foot ailments. Regards Yazdy Palia.
