Autumn Parasols
One of the exciting finds at Killerton on our fungus foray with the Devon Fungus Group is a Parasol Mushroom. Our leader has it pointed out to him from fifty metres away and knows what it is without needing to go any further.

They’re large and fleshy. It’s soon in someone else’s basket with mentions of deep frying.

Sounds delicious.
