Parasol
Macrolepiota procera
A species of Macrolepiota.
Thriving in open spaces and meadows during late summer, the wild parasol mushroom features a stem adorned with a snakeskin-like pattern. Its cap, characterized by brown speckles, might appear somewhat unkempt, yet the designation 'Shaggy Parasol' is specifically attributed to its toxic counterpart, Chlorophyllum rhacodes. A key differentiator between them lies in their stems: the poisonous variety possesses a smooth stem and exhibits red flesh internally.
