Hello everyone here in Fungi Lovers community.
As today is fungifriday , I would like to share with you photos of mushrooms that I have been eating for years, till one day they made me really, really ill.
Mushrooms I am talking about are Macrolepiota procera , known as Parasol Mushrooms.
Every year in September and early October , when the weather was right, they were growing in the same place.
I always waited for them to grow fully. Than picked them up and fried the same way as schnitzel. They were always very delicious .
Till in early September two years ago, around an hour after my mushroom dinner, I started vomiting and shortly after that I had really bad diarrhea! I couldn't stop it for over 6 hours, so I end up in emergency room in hospital.
The same mushrooms are growing in exactly the same place, but now I only photograph them.
I still don't know why they made me so ill, but I noticed some differences between them, so maybe that year not Parasol Mushrooms grow in that place ?
I have numbered photos of what I think are Parasol Mushrooms with "I" and with "II " , what I think are mushrooms that made me ill two years ago.
If someone can help me with identification of this mushrooms, I will be very grateful.
I wish you all happy fungifriday and fantastic weekend!
