Parasol mushroom - a very tasty mushroom, but many people are afraid to pick it up

By madventure | Nature, Photography | 12 Jan 2024


This edible mushroom, well known to mushroom pickers, is problematic for inexperienced mushroom pickers. They doubt whether it is really edible.

And let it stay that way - if you are not sure if a given species is suitable for the kitchen - do not collect, take a lot of photos and confront albums, show it to experienced mushroom pickers so that they can assess the species.

Once you gain experience, and this species of mushroom appears in your basket, you can make a lot of great dishes from it. You can fry it like a cutlet, you can dry whole hats, and regain their flavor during the winter. All you need to do is soak the dried hat of this mushroom in milk to regain freshness, taste and aroma.

September is the best time to obtain this mushroom species. He likes shaded forests, but he also often appears in clearings, where he can grow in groups.

The most difficult to define are very young fruiting bodies, because they are deceptively similar to a toadstool.

Be careful 😉
