Parasol in Münster, Germany: live forecast and 14-day outlook
Parasol usually come up in Münster from August to October, and right now they’re at 57% and looking good.
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.
Favours open ground rather than dense woodland: grassy clearings, pasture edges, road verges, parkland and the sunny margins of deciduous and mixed woods. Prefers well-drained, often sandy or light soils and is common on nutrient-poor grassland.
Late summer to autumn, roughly August to October, sometimes from July.
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.
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.
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.
