The Parasol Mushroom

The Parasol Mushroom (Macrolepiota procera) belongs to the Lepiota family and it is edible. It is the tastiest after the cap has become convex (cap is oval when very young). Its charasteristic feature is the presence of a little bump in the center of a mature cap. It grows alone or scattered in forests or at the edges of forests, pastures, and on trails. The Low Beskid - Poland - Autumn 2007.

Very GREAT !!!

That's right - you must have a lot of moisture coming in from the Baltic Sea. Americans love edible mushrooms, on top of pizza & in salads!
Your photo ... is making me HUNGRY! Thank you!
