About Parasol mushroom

Parasol mushroom is the common name for an edible mushroom recognized by its broad, umbrella-like cap and tall stem. The cap is pale, often with brown scales, and mature specimens may have a ring on the stem. Its flesh is tender when cooked, with a mild, nutty flavour. Identification matters because unrelated mushrooms can resemble edible species.

The caps are commonly cooked, while stems may be tougher and treated separately. Fresh mushrooms are the usual culinary form; dried forms may also be available. This entry concerns the food commonly called parasol mushroom, not every large umbrella-shaped wild mushroom. Appearance and culinary quality vary with age and condition.
