Late summer to autumn, roughly August to October, sometimes from July.
A tall mushroom with a stem up to 30 cm or more; the cap reaches 10 to 25 cm and opens from egg-shaped to a flat parasol with a distinct raised bump in the centre. The cap is pale grey-brown with coarse, shaggy brown scales, the gills are white and free of the stem, and the stem is slender with a brown snakeskin pattern and a thick movable ring that can be slid up and down.
The large caps are best dipped in beaten egg and breadcrumbs and shallow-fried whole like a schnitzel. They also take well to being stuffed and baked, or sliced and fried in butter as a side; discard the fibrous stems, which stay tough.
A prized edible with a mild, slightly nutty taste. The caps are good dusted in flour or breadcrumbs and fried whole like a schnitzel; the fibrous stems are usually too tough to eat and are discarded.
Can be confused with members of the genus Chlorophyllum, especially Chlorophyllum brunneum and the American Chlorophyllum molybdites, which cause stomach upsets. The parasol is told apart by its tall snakeskin-patterned stem, a movable double-edged ring and flesh that does not turn red when cut; the dangerous lookalikes are stockier with a bulbous stem base and often bruise reddish. Avoid any small Lepiota species, several of which are deadly poisonous.
