Macrolepiota procera, the parasol mushroom, is a basidiomycete fungus with a large, prominent fruiting body resembling a parasol. It is a fairly common species on well-drained soils. It is found solitary or in groups and fairy rings in pastures and occasionally in woodland. It is widespread in temperate regions of Eurasia and possibly North America.

I have not seen this mushroom here in British Colymbia but took his picture on the side of a cornfield in Steinfurt, Germany -this specimen was very large -check out the little fly for size comparison.

den Größenvergleich finde ich fantastisch und den Riesen-Parasol hast du brillant mit deiner Aufnahme in Szene gesetzt. Die kleine Fliege ist dabei das i-Tüpfelchen

A well spotted and beautifully captured shot of this parasol mushroom between the grasses!
The height of the stem and the cap diameter of some mature specimens may reach an impressive 30 cm each !

Der Kontrast zwischen den Pilzen und dem Hintergrund bringt die Struktur der Pilze besonders gut zur Geltung. Der Fokus ist punktgenau gesetzt und betont die feinen Details der Pilzköpfe. Die Bildsprache ist ausdrucksstark, mir gefällt das sehr schöne Foto.

When I was about 10 years old, I was on holiday (not alone, of course) in south-east Europe. Our landlord there invited us to collect umbrella mushrooms with him. We came to a mixed area of pasture and forest and found around 20 medium-sized to large mushrooms.
Once we got ‘home’, we cleaned them and fried them in French batter in the style of a schnitzel.
With deep-fried potato wedges, cranberry jam with pear pieces and salad, they tasted delicious.
The flavour was comparable to a ‘chicken schnitzel’ (real schnitzel usually with veal, egg, flour, breadcrumbs; lemon slices as a garnish).
This was my rather ‘greedy’ approach to this type of mushroom. Happened once...
Kind regards,
Rene

  thank you for your comment, Rene, and you are making me drool - that recipe sounds so delicious, and I stilll have to wait 4 hours before dinner. I wish I had known that this mushroom is edible, would have taken it to my sister to prepare !!!

  I only have a rudimentary knowledge of mushrooms, so I would rather not recommend any...
  Greetings
