When is the best time to find Parasol in Drenthe?
Mushroom season in Drenthe, Netherlands is looking good right now, with parasol sitting at 61% today. The typical season runs August to October, and we’re in October now
Fruits in late summer and autumn after warm spells broken by steady rain, typically when daytime temperatures sit around 12 to 20 C. A few days of moisture following a warm period usually triggers a flush.
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.
Often found near the shaggy parasol (Chlorophyllum rhacodes) on similar open ground, so check the stem carefully to tell them apart. In the same grassland and woodland edges in autumn you may also find field mushrooms and various waxcaps.
Look for the tall scaly stem with a distinct snakeskin pattern and a thick movable ring that slides up and down. Pick only well-grown caps where the snakeskin stem is clearly present, and never confuse it with the smaller Chlorophyllum molybdites or dapperlings, which can be toxic.
Best eaten the same day as the caps go limp quickly; keep fresh in a paper bag in the fridge for a day or two. They dry well into flakes or powder for flavouring, and cooked caps can be frozen.
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.
