Rolfe 2 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Just a picture of what i am pretty certain are Parasol Mushrooms.........I believe they are edible and i just wondered if anyone has tried eating them and what the flavour is like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Garypco 2 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 one of the best ways to eat a parasol is grilled with melted cheese on top,not the best tasting of mushrooms a little bland but very edible and good if fresh.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neil Cooney. 1 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I've seen field mushrooms already and this looks like being a bumper year for fungi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 They are definitely Parasols: totally delicious as long as you pick them while the gills are still white and crisp. Once they get older they can taste a bit dire: bitter tasting, but absolutely still edible. Pick them before the cap opens fully for the best flavour: cut into quarters, cutting out the woody middle where the stem joins on, and fry gently in butter and oil. In some parts of France they are known as the poor man's steak! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
