Judging by the ring on its stem and blobs on its cap, it is death in a small package.

That is the Greengill (or “Green-spored Parasol” on iNat.) Some older sources say that there have been fatalities, but newer sources say that it will only make you sick to your stomach.

Up here in Alaska at least, I think it’s some kind of burrowing polychaete that makes tunnels in shells like this.
