The parasol mushroom is a large fungus whose cap, up to 25 cm wide, looks like a parasol. It has dark scales on the cap, a snakeskin pattern on the stem and a movable ring. The poisonous green-spored parasol and small deadly Lepiota species resemble it.
Where it's found
Well-drained soils in pastures and occasionally woodland, solitary or in groups and fairy rings.
Distribution
Widespread in temperate Eurasia; whether North American specimens are the same species needs further research.
