When is the best time to find Parasol in Hovedstaden?
Parasol usually come up in Hovedstaden from August to October, and right now they’re at 38% and building.
The parasol has a long season that often starts in warm grassland as early as July and can run into November, so summer and late-autumn finds are normal rather than unusual. The forecast follows this extended fruiting window beyond the main August to October peak.
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.
A mature cap can reach 30 cm or more across, making it one of the largest gilled mushrooms in Europe, and the loose ring really does slide freely up and down the stem.
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.
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.
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.
