what kind of mushroom is this? -- unique

[beerbaron]

i got this mushroom about two years ago at a random LFS. they didnt know it was even a mushroom. it gets quite large before it splits, about 4-5" across. just wondering the common name, although the latin name and variety would be great.
Thanx for looking

Wow yours only gets 4-5 inches. Mine get 12-14!! Common name is fuzzy electric green mushroom. That is what the wholeseller calls them.
