Fungi Friday - Macrolepiota procera ( Something clearly edible for a change :D)
Here is called sunchanica ... and that means something like '' sunny mushroom'' or '' sun mushroom'' not exactly that but something near ... definitively has the sun in the name ... sunchanica is also the word for a sunstroke, heat stroke under the strong sun ... which stroke me a few times when I was a kid...
It has a large umbrella, it's easy to determine and delicious when cooked in various ways.
Here is very common and can grow in great numbers ...
... and in various habitats ... in dense shady forests ...
... but also in the tall grass on the open meadows ... like here in this video ...
Macrolepiota mushrooms on the coastal meadows, in the early autumn, Istra peninsula, northern Adriatic.

The color my wary, and can come in this pale version, but the size, the shape, and the characteristic ring are always clear signs that you are not on the way to pain and agony and maybe death in some hospital.
And that's it - Bon appetite :) have great fungi Friday wherever on the planet you are
( As always on these posts on Steemit, all the photographs and videos are my work. )
Oh thank God I've read the description. I was really trying to guess the image just by looking at the photo alone.

They taste very good, kind of typical mushroom aroma, they have their own specific aroma when you ... how to say :) take a detailed look at the taste ... but is not very different from, ad example oyster mushroom from the supermarket... when they are raw they have an unpleasant, a bit like the ammonium smell ... and they are mildly toxic if not cooked ... but very short cooking is enough ... I fried them very short, just the time for the crust to form, so they are almost raw at the inside but I never had problems and some years I eat a lot of them fried like that ... but they taste good cooked in any way, I like some kind of mushroom goulash made with them ... or with some other mushrooms mixed in
Cool hopefully i can find the edible ones around here and avoid the green spore vomiter ones. The pink oysters have a similar ammonia smell but they taste good after cooking. I'll try them in goulash if i ever find any.

damn, they look like a typical toadstool! I'd afraid to appoach it. Sadly. Very tricky and I couldnt differ it from non-edibles.
It's better to be safe then :) there are many other delicious things out there to eat ... I eat a few species that I'm sure of ... and all the others I live to the camera :)
Here we call them parasol mushrooms but unfortunately we have a lookalike that has green spores that sends you to the hospital vomiting. Also it looks like your version is twice as large as the ones that grow here.
Interesting ... here is the synonym for the safe mushroom ... fungi world is filled with tricky things ... parasol is definitely a good descriptive name :)
I'll try and post the ones i found in downtown chicago.
