To my surprise, many in our area did not know this mushroom and considered it a fly agaric or something inedible. Yes, I myself did not know for a long time about this miracle mushroom.
Therefore, seeing him in the forest, I could play football with this mushroom)) How wrong I was, dear colleagues!
Mushroom Umbrella from the genus champignon, it has similarities with champignons, but the umbrella is even tastier and more fragrant than champignon. I'm not joking about the fact that it is served in restaurants in France and Germany, they know a lot about these mushrooms and have learned how to grow them. They use young Umbrellas with the cap not yet fully opened. This is a miracle mushroom. It is a fully edible Category 4 mushroom. Mushroom pickers know this, it can be eaten raw. If you take a young mushroom cap, salt it a little, droplets will appear on it. After a few minutes, you can safely put this fungus on a toast or a piece of bread and after tasting it, you will feel a pleasant nutty taste. Umbrella is a wonderful mushroom. Finding it in the forest, be sure to take it and do not hesitate. We have at least three types of Umbrellas: White, Pied and Blushing. All of them are edible, the largest is Pied, it can be 35 cm high and the cap is up to 30 cm in diameter.
If you find an umbrella in the forest, take a closer look, there may be more than one nearby, you can often find a whole string of these mushrooms.
Next time I will tell you how to cook them. In general, they are fried and boiled and baked. I will describe in more detail in the following posts.
