Brilliant video.
These smaller parasols look like they could be easy to confuse with the Dapperlings (like the freckled Dapperlings you recently highlighted).

Thanks again Marlow, I've been munching away on parasol mushrooms for a while now, you've just thrown some confusion into the mix, it was definitely shaggy parasol no reactions what so ever and I didn't hold back on them past 2 months, now I think they might have been the slender stem but I'm not so sure.

Thanks! I thought I had found shaggies today but I think they are bruneums so leaving as they have smooth stems and bruise to dark brown when cut. Beautiful all the same

(Hat of parasol) Flour, egg and bread crumbs than fry on pan.. Love picking mine in autumn from Malvern hills.. Or drying out in oven powering it.. Using in soup, stew, etc

Good advice I think mate,I have eaten Shaggy parasols for ages but I have this year had a reminder that you must never get complacent, always test a small portion first before whacking a load in your cooking it's nothing too serious but not a great day out.

My hands get itchy when I touch the shaggy parasol, but not Macrolepiota procera. Very odd, but very useful.

Great content. Is it possible you could do a vid on how to tell the difference between the ivory funnel, the trooping funnel, and common funnel? I've been picking some trooping funnels but just recently I picked what I thought was a trooping but the stem is hollowed. I 'think' they are common funnels but any tips on how to clearly identify the ivory funnel would be greatly appreciated considering how dangerous it is.
