Parasol Mushroom | Choice edible mushroom in North America!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Parasol Mushrooms (Macrolepiota Procera) are edible fungi. They earned the name “Parasol” because of their cap, which resembles umbrella/parasol. Parasol mushrooms were given the name by Italian herbalist and naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scoppoli in 1772.

Absolutely the best video on TH-cam for describing this mushroom! Thanks for the confidence brother.
Perfect explained! 😊
One more distinction of parasol mushrooms is that they remain lustreless even if you pour water on the cap. And yeah avoid anything with green gills/spores.
Super detailed description! Great educational video!
Thanks!
We have these here in Mountainous regions of J&K (India) . I live in Ramnagar, and I grew up eating these a lot in my childhood. These grow in patsures and farm fields where soil is moist. Very delicious to eat when fried with simple seasoning .
Found some over here in Wales UK today, this positively id's them. Thanks for all the pointers. Now subscribed 👍🏻
Haven't seen any parasols here, but have had lots of shaggy inkcaps, boletes, russulas and Clouded funnels.
Found a perfect destroying angel the other day too, not 4 feet away from plenty of edibles.
Ps. Parasols are delicious when dehydrated, coated in teriyaki seasoning and cooked into a stir fry. 🤙
This is an excellent video on the Parasol Mushroom. Thank you so much!
One of the best identifyers I find for this one is the white gills and spores, whereas the toxic lookalike has white gills and green spores.
Awesome
Found one today but I’m no expert n left it alone along with the others. Thank you for this information
That was very helpful!
My yard is a gold mine!!!! Thank you, after watching this I am confident I can eat these mushrooms!
I have some short videos you should check out as well.
You my friend are a great teacher, thank you praise God
I grew up on these things, they're literally everywhere in northern slovenia
Greatly appreciate the the vid! Just found shaggy parasols this morning for the 1st time and your video was outstanding for identifying. Arroyo Grande CA
Excellent video! Thank you!
I have goot hundreds of these things spinging up in my caragana bushes in southern alberta, some 10 to 12 inches across.
A kootney mushroom forum identified them as shaggy parasol.
Cooked one up with olive oil crushed garlic, roasted red pepper flakes and sea salt.
Omg, they are delicious.
The stem turned red when cut too.
Yes!! Definitely shaggy! Orange to red bruising! I get them in my yard. Love them. Remember to sub and share!
It also will not have the snake skin like pattern on the stem
@@chuckgrove8516 awesome thanks Chuck.
Subbed, 👍
I'm excited to try my hand at these mushrooms I am experienced with wild mushroom hunting so this is a new adventure thank you so very much I cant tell you how much your videos mean to me and my family keep doing gods work and stay blessed thanks again !!
@Emily M. Johnson what
You are an excellent teacher sir! Out of all the videos I have watched I have learned more from this one then most of the others combined new subscriber!!!
Thank you so much! My area is coming out of a bad drought. I will be doing several more I'd videos soon. Thank you again
Chuck Grove
This is the stage of life I’m at and I love it. Mushroom loiiiiife!
If and when you do another video, can you recommend some good Mushroom foraging books.... maybe just the top two that you have personally found very detailed and very useful for the beginner. I appreciate the attention to as many identifying details as possible in your videos - Fellow Vet, Thanks!
Thankyou for your service!!
You ideally want the most up to date guides, as fungi change classification fairly often.
Mushrooms paperback by Roger Phillips is a good one, as is the Collins Gem Mushrooms book by Patrick Harding.
Otherwise, online ID guides will help you ID most stuff, I use them a lot as they're the most up to date source of info.
Happy hunting 👍
Definitely!
I am new to your channel. Excellent video and such clear, fool proof identification, description. Congratulations, and Thank you loads.😁
Great block of instruction on Parasol ID!!
Complete with COD "ominous music" in/outro. 😁
Thanksyasir! d:^)
Thanks!
Back in Poland we always had our secret spots for them, here in Ontario I got trouble finding them
Thank you so much.
Once dried pack tightly into a jar and let age two months or so. Incredible mellow taste and highly concentrated.
@ChrisElis-hj2es not interested. tnx.
Thank you for such helpful information!
Informative show! This is my first video of yours that I've seen and I'm off to see what else you have made.
Informative, great video. Thank you and God bless.
Thankyou
great job there. thanks
Watching from Florence S.C. I'd like to learn more.
Like what? I love content ideas 💡?
The red ants love this one
The music in the intro made me feel like i was going into battle
Love it!!
The first and most obvious feature is its tall size, it is the tallest in many regions.
Awesome!!
Much safer in england
nicely simplified
Mushroom foraging 101. Learn Aminitas
Yup, some are deadly, but the edible ones are pretty damn good. 👍
Grad you mentioned the green one. I recently found one.
You should try cooking these with some Teriyaki seasoning, they're delicious! 👍
I'm going to try this
It has a very similar cap appearance to the pheasant back mushroom although a completely different shape and it has pores instead of gills
I found a bunch at the edge of a field, they have every characteristic you mention but no snakeskin pattern. I'm a beginner, I'm gonna toss it
Always best. Do more research. Figure out what they are. Thanks!
I ate a poison one. It was bad.
The question is... Can I grow them on my own? They are super yummy.
I am doing some research on this and I will be making a video. Watch for it I will bring you up in the video.
You bet they are good I just now got done eating a couple for the first time. I'm a lifetime Morel hunter. If Morels are a 10 on the scale these guys are 9.5. Man I was surprised, these Parasols taste much like a Morel. Often times these Parasols grow in compost piles, and that's where I found mine, in a neighbors years old grass clippings pile. And there's about 20 growing and most are middle aged or young so far. Unfortunately I can't eat many, like Morels I cooked these in flour and butter. I'm too old to be eaten that much fat.😢
Most important feature ..you did not mention
When you cut the stem it turns Red .. ????!
Thanks for commenting. We always appreciate it. The parasol mushroom shouldn't stain any color except a light brown. If all other features match and it stains orange into a dark red you actually have the shaggy parasol. No worries on this mistake because it's also a choice edible to me. Also the shaggy parasol can cause stomach upset. Happy foraging!

Thank you!
What season are they found? What part of the country .
September/October South Western PA
I always thought you cut them and not pull the root out so more will grow??
Excellent point. I haven't observed any difference in my spots. It's always best to not disturb nature 🍄🟫 as much as possible.
ParasOL ;)
The first thing i noticed with falsies is that the gills are connected & a gray color instead of the same color as a true parasol. Do you have a video on using the spores to plant in your yard?
No I don't. But I'll work on it!
I would like a video about spreading spores or even mycelium in a garden.
❤🙏🙏
I have some shrooms that have all the same characteristics except the rattlesnake stalk would you know what it is?
th-cam.com/users/shorts25Q7fCdJQbE?si=BpXoVXBpNeU-U63U
Try this. Do they bruise any particular color?
@@ForagingTruth pinkish red
But there are 2 parasol mushrooms that look identical. I found a few that I couldn't tell if it was a shaggy parasol or a parasol mushroom. And the gills had a brown/tan collor. Not the creamy color, and not the greenish color. Couldn't tell if it had the orangey color if it bruised, so I still dont know which it is. It had traits of both kinds. Wish I could post a picture on here, I wanted them to dry them to use an arts and crafts. So I'm trying it and the bottom gills are now black. But I just cannot tell if it's a Shaggy parasol or a normal parasol. Or is there another kind just like those that I'm not looking at also. Because it looks like a hybrid. Because the gills do not match either one of them/ the parasols.
Scratch the mushroom and look for a carrot orange color turning red first. Send a pic to foragingtruth@gmail.com
I'm interested in what you found
@@ForagingTruth I'm in the US. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I found 4 mushrooms growing in mulch. I will take pictures & send them to you. They have been drying out so they are hard now. I wasn't going to eat them. I picked them to use in some arts & crafts projects so I wanted them dried out.
Thanks for all your expertise I've been following you so if you scratch them and they turn bright orange like a carrot is that the good parasol or the false parasol that you don't eat??
@@robinadams5584I'm going to make a video and link it to u. Coming soon
Also at 8:57 min mark. I say "shaggy parasol" that is a smaller different mushroom I also enjoy but this is the parasol mushroom.
Couldn’t see anything you were showing about the mushroom the camera person was looking at the ground 👎
Thankyou for the feedback! We'll work harder!!
I just found some and it meets all the identifying features except it doesn't have the brown mottled scales on top of the cap. I am in West Central Florida. What's up with that ?
Always be 100 % positive on identifying what you have.
@@chuckgrove8516 Indeed. I occasionally find Amanita virosa growing nearby parasols.
You don't want to get those mixed up. 😅
Hey here's a short on the shaggy parasol!! th-cam.com/users/shorts25Q7fCdJQbE?si=EgIWmf4PNcj4ZS32
Also this mushroom will not bruise red or leave a green spore print!
My understanding is that rusty/orange/saffron bruising is a defining characteristic. Search for the mushroom by their scientific name Chlorophyllum rhacodes and you will find other more authoritative sources for identification than this video.
Also it's important to know that misidentification of Chlorophyllum molybdites, thinking that it is C. rhacodes is the most common cause of mushroom poisonings in North America.
As he says in the video, green spore print would indicate C. molybdites.
But will you trip
Nope
fk eating that or even looking for it
what I mean is if you grew up in one area then yeah ok but mushrooms are children of the environment even the experts get it wrong getting it wrong with these types is end of the road
It's definitely a danger but if u follow the steps it's really not so much a danger.
